Today, we're excited to launch Bigscreen Beyond 2!
BREAKTHROUGH OPTICS
116° field of view
edge-to-edge clarity
massive sweet spot
reduced lens glare
increased brightness
16% lighter, now just 107 GRAMS.
And, eyetracking.
For improved shareability, we added Adjustable IPD and a new Halo Mount with a Universal-Fit Lightseal.
Bigscreen Beyond packs in ultra-high resolution micro-OLED displays (2560x2560 per eye) and SteamVR tracking.
Order now, and the first batch ships in April 2025.
We asked HTC if they were discontinuing the Steam VR Base Stations and this is what they said:
"If there is a plan to discontinue Steam VR Base Stations, we will ensure everyone is informed. However it is unlikely to happen at this time."

So about those Index Controllers and Base Stations...
Earlier this week Valve announced that they are selling through their remaining stock of Index Controllers. So we made a guide of SteamVR Controller options and where to get them.

We're selling more Beyond 2 and 2e headsets per day than we did over the 2025 holidays! That's stretching shipping times, so here's where things stand.

TL;DR
Need a headset ASAP? Grab the Beyond 2e in Clear with the new Universal-Fit Light Seal or a Custom-Fit Cushion. Ships in 2–3 business days.
Plus: a Halo Mount shipping update, and 3DoF mode + a major eyetracking upgrade are on the way.
A major update on the Bigscreen Beyond 2 Halo Mount.
In December 2025, we made the decision to delay the Halo Mount's mass production and implement new design changes. Although this comes with a very significant financial cost and schedule delay to redesign and retool, we firmly believe in listening to customer feedback and building excellent products. The final product will be worth the wait, and we're excited to share these improvements:
• Secure & easy to remove: New clip-on mechanism (no adhesives)
• 3rd-party accessories: M3 brass-threaded screw hole for 3rd-party mods
• Built-in flip-up mechanism significantly improved
• Extra USB extension for better cable travel
• Easier vertical adjustment of the Halo Mount for better forehead positioning
We're going to be making a lot more content on YouTube:
sim racing, our massive update to eyetracking, our new Halo Mount, and a lot more

The Steam Frame Just Gave us our Best Day of Sales this Year!
We discuss why in our new video over on YouTube!

Beyond 2's are unexpectedly flying off the shelf this week!
Let's frame it this way: we'll sell more Beyond 2's in a few days than we typically sell in an entire MONTH!
Fortunately, with additional inventory landing in Los Angeles on Friday (and ongoing shipments throughout the rest of the year), we expect to be well stocked with every Beyond 2 model now and through the holiday season.
This surprises me every time it happens.
Yesterday, Valve launched the highly anticipated Steam Frame.
We sold more Beyond 2’s yesterday than any other day this year.
Crazy! You’d think sales would drop, but the opposite keeps happening…We saw this when Apple Vision Pro launched too.
Rising tide floats all boats!
Our next batch of Halo Mounts just landed in LAX! We expect pallets to arrive at our warehouse on Monday after clearing customs over the weekend. Regular air freight to LA over the next couple of months will help us ship tons of Halo Mounts quickly.
Update on Beyond 2: a couple weeks ago, we were low on Beyond 2 inventory. All Beyond 2 orders in the past week have shipped within 2 business days or less. Our new website now shows leadtimes per SKU and are updated in realtime. Check it out: store.bigscreenvr.com/produc…

We built a site to mark 10 years of Bigscreen: product launches, milestones, and a note from our founder @DShankar on the decade behind us and where VR goes next.

10 years.
Bigscreen started in 2016 as an app on Steam for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Now, we've built two generations of our VR headset, and shipped 50,000+ orders to customers in 50+ countries.
Today also marks one year since Beyond 2 launched. In the first 10 days, Beyond 2 sold more units than Beyond 1 did in its first year of sales. Bigscreen is now profitable, with annual revenue growing 3X year over year for the past 4 years in a row. We've built a great business, product, and community, and we have an ambitious roadmap ahead of us.
Thanks to everyone who's been part of this journey. The people who tested the Beyond prototypes in 2021. The passionate customers who preordered the Beyond 1 and Beyond 2. There's a lot more to build, and we're just getting started.
I wrote a post reflecting on the past 10 years. You can read more here: xitter.cf/DShankar/status/208030…
