Bigscreen Beyond 2 Surpasses First-Day Sales of the Original, Exceeding Several Months of Beyond 1 Sales

Bigscreen made quite a splash yesterday with the launch of pre-orders for its upcoming Beyond 2 PC VR headset. This new version is turning heads thanks to its enhanced field-of-view and clarity, courtesy of an innovative pancake lens design. The buzz around Beyond 2 is palpable, as evidenced by its striking sales performance: within just 10 hours, it had already surpassed the achievements of its predecessor.

Bigscreen took to social media platform X to share the sales success in real time, much to the delight of VR enthusiasts. In a burst of excitement, they announced, “Within the first 25 minutes, Beyond 2 exceeded the entire first day’s sales of the original Beyond. And after just an hour? We had doubled those launch day figures.”

As the hours rolled on, Bigscreen continued to share jaw-dropping sales figures for Beyond 2 and its eye-tracking version, Beyond 2e. One update left many in awe: “Within just 10 hours of going live, Beyond 2 has outsold the first FOUR MONTHS of Beyond 1’s sales.”

By the time of this update, customers eyeing the new headsets found that the shipping estimates had moved to June 2025, having swiftly filled up the initial April and May slots.

So, what’s causing all this excitement for Beyond 2? While further details and specifications can be explored online, the attraction seems to lie in the seamless upgrade path Bigscreen has crafted. Existing Beyond 1 owners benefit from a special offer, allowing them to snag Beyond 2 for $849 and Beyond 2e for $1049. Plus, the new series remains compatible with many Beyond 1 accessories, including the customized facial interface.

Beyond 2 is no slouch in the tech department either, boasting a new pancake lens design that provides a broader 116-degree diagonal field-of-view, along with an adjustable inter-pupillary distance (IPD) and a more lightweight build at just 107g. For those looking for even more, the Beyond 2e includes AI-powered eye-tracking. Both models maintain the dual 1-inch, 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays found in the original headset but with lenses that enhance clarity and field-of-view compared to its predecessor.

The Beyond 2 and 2e are priced at $1,019 and $1,219 respectively unless you’re a Beyond 1 owner, where discounts apply. They also come with a new halo-style mount and a Lightblocker facial interface, which will be available in the third quarter of 2025.

For those eager to get their hands on these cutting-edge devices, they’re available for order on the Bigscreen website.
