Bigscreen Beyond 2 Surpasses Original’s Cumulative Sales on Launch Day

Yesterday, Bigscreen opened up orders for the highly anticipated Beyond 2 PC VR headset, featuring a sleek pancake lens design that enhances both field-of-view and image clarity. Excitingly, just 10 hours after hitting the market, the sales figures for the Beyond 2 have already surpassed those of the original Beyond headset by a remarkable margin.

Taking to social media platform X, Bigscreen shared a series of updates highlighting the enthusiastic reception from the PC VR community. “In just 25 minutes, Beyond 2 surpassed the entire first day’s sales of Beyond 1. Within the first hour, our sales had already doubled those of the previous launch day,” the company announced confidently.

As the day unfolded, Bigscreen kept their audience in the loop, providing insights into the booming sales of both Beyond 2 and its eye-tracking counterpart, Beyond 2e. The numbers were indeed impressive. “Within 10 hours of launch, Beyond 2 has sold more units than the first four months of Beyond 1 sales,” they revealed, conveying a sense of thrilling accomplishment.

By the time of writing, the anticipated shipping dates for Beyond 2 and Beyond 2e have been pushed to June 2025, given the overwhelming interest that quickly depleted the initial batches slated for April and May delivery.

The question buzzing around the community is: what’s driving the massive interest in Beyond 2? Aside from the appealing specifications detailed elsewhere, fans are thrilled about the seamless upgrade options offered by Bigscreen. Beyond 1 users can snag the new model at a bargain—$849 for Beyond 2 and $1049 for the Beyond 2e. Plus, the upgrade maintains compatibility with most Beyond 1 accessories, including the custom facial interface essential for the original model.

Beyond 2 itself showcases a fresh pancake lens with an expansive 116-degree diagonal field of view, an adjustable IPD feature, and a feather-light 107g design. The Beyond 2e takes it a step further, incorporating AI-driven eye-tracking. Retaining the same dual 1-inch 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays as its predecessor, Beyond 2 brings notable improvements in clarity and FOV with its innovative lens technology.

Pricing for Beyond 2 and 2e stands at $1,019 and $1,219, respectively, with discounts available for existing Beyond 1 owners. The launch also saw the announcement of a new halo-style mount and Lightblocker facial interface, arriving in Q3 2025.
