So, here’s the scoop. Bigscreen just rolled out this new thing called the ‘VRChat Edition’ of their Beyond 2e headset. You know those folks who pretty much live in VRChat? Yeah, this one’s for them. It’s like, tailor-made or whatever.

Anyway, they started shipping their Beyond 2 units, like, just last month. And it’s not just any headset. There’s the basic one and then this fancy eye-tracking 2e version. Now, they’ve decided to spice things up with something exclusive that’s hitting the virtual shelves around September 2025. I mean, who even knows what’ll happen by then?

Here’s the techy bit—though it’s the same as the Beyond 2e. Still got those eye sensors, nice 2,560 x 2,560 micro-OLED screens, and a 116° view, which is really because of some pancake lenses (who names these things?). Oh, and it’s light! Only 107 grams. That’s like less than whatever’s hiding in my backpack.

You can grab this new VRChat Edition for a cool $1,269. Sure, it’s $50 more, but hey, you get a translucent Atomic Purple casing and, get this, hand-drawn packaging. Someone actually drew on these boxes—how wild is that?

Pro tip though: You’ll need a VR-ready PC to make any of Bigscreen’s headsets work. And don’t forget the SteamVR stuff—base stations, controllers, optional trackers. No one ever mentions that, do they? You can check if your PC is up to the task somewhere online.

And there’s more! With your purchase, you snag some VRChat digital goodies. Like stickers and badges? Sounds like high school all over again. Apparently, more surprises are coming, including rare giveaway drops. Whatever that means—it sounds exclusive, so that’s cool.

They start sending these out in September, but if you’re already in line for a preorder, word on the street is you can ask to switch to the VRChat Edition. Just shoot a message to support. Easy, right?

Oh, and if you’re really into the nitty-gritty, there’s a big chat available online with Bigscreen’s boss Darshan Shankar and VRChat’s Tupper. They dive into everything—improvements, eye-tracking drama, the whole shebang. It’s a hefty listen, maybe grab a snack.
