Bigscreen Unveils Exclusive ‘VRChat Edition’ of Beyond 2e PC VR Headset, Launching in September

Alright, let’s dive into this wild VRChat world with a dash of chaos and a sprinkle of randomness. So, picture this: Bigscreen, that company everyone seems to either love or argue about, just pulled the curtain on something sparkly—a Beyond 2e headset made for the die-hard VRChat crowd. Yeah, they’re calling it the VRChat Edition, and apparently, it’s set to start rolling out September 2025. Hold your breath. Or don’t. Whatever.

And I mean, honestly, it’s mostly like the original Beyond 2e with all the nerdy specs. Eye-tracking sensors, 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays—I know, right? Try saying that five times fast. Plus, these pancake lenses that give you a wider field of view. FOV, if you’re into acronyms.

But here’s where it gets funky—this new edition’s got a translucent Atomic Purple shell. Atomic. Purple. Not just a color, it’s a statement. And the packaging is hand-drawn. Like, someone actually took a pen and drew it? Maybe I’m just easily impressed, or maybe it reminds me of doodles I used to make in my school notebooks. Who knows?

Oh, almost forgot the price bit. So, if you’ve got $1,269 just lying around—not under your couch cushions though, I checked mine—this one’s up for pre-order. And if you’re thinking, “Hey, I’ve already got a pre-order going,” you can upgrade by, get this, actually talking to support. Human interaction still exists.

Technical hiccup time: you’ll absolutely need a VR-ready PC. You know, the kind that doesn’t wheeze under pressure. And those SteamVR base stations and controllers? Yep, gotta have them too. Check if your PC can handle it, if you’re not already lost in Specsland.

Oh, and in the box? Exclusive VRChat digital goodies. Stickers, badges, digital flair—so very 21st century. Bigscreen mumbled something about more features and rare giveaways. But who listens to rumors? Okay, maybe I do, sometimes.

Random tangent: You can actually catch a conversation with Bigscreen’s founder Darshan Shankar and VRChat’s Community Head Tupper. Apparently, they chat for like an hour. I wonder if they talked about existential VR crises or just headset improvements?

So yeah, circle back to me when you get your Atomic Purple wonder. The world’s a weird place. But isn’t that great?
