HTC Offers Limited Time Discount on Vive Pro 2 Headset and Bundle

Sure, let’s dive right into the world of VR headsets. Wow, it’s been a whirlwind since HTC dropped the Vive Pro 2 back in 2021, and hey, it’s still hanging on strong as the go-to VR headset for PC users. But here’s a twist: it’s getting cheaper. Yeah, I mean like, you might wanna check your bank balance kind of cheaper.

So, HTC’s got this Summer of Gaming Sale thing going on. You didn’t hear it from me, but it runs till June 30th. If you’re all about that VR life, there are some sweet deals on this, let’s say, slightly retro tech. (Oh, nostalgia!) They’ve got two things on the menu: the Vive Pro 2 bundle and, if you’re feeling minimalist, the headset as a solo act.

Here’s the breakdown nobody asked for:
– Full Kit: $1,199 slashed to $799.99, and you get the headset, plus all that SteamVR 2.0 jazz—base stations, controllers, and whatnot.
– Just the Headset: Was $699, now $499.99. Guess base stations are for overachievers?

Oh, and they’re throwing in a couple of months of Viveport Infinity, which sounds like infinity but is really just a library of VR games. Which, to be honest, feels pretty vast when you step inside VR.

Now, specs and what-have-yous—what even are lenses, right? But for the hardcore tech folks, this is what you get:
– Resolution: You know, it’s numbers—2,448 x 2,448 per eye. Eye-blowingly clear? Maybe.
– Refresh Rate: 90Hz or 120Hz, if you care. Fast, I guess?
– IPD Adjustment? Sure, why not. It goes from 57–72mm. Whatever that means.
– Connections: USB 3.0! DisplayPort 1.2!—like an exclusive chat line for your headset.

Anyway—hey, tangent. So, it’s kinda dated, real talk. Like, it’s got these Fresnel lenses which sound fancy but add some serious thickness. It’s not exactly the Bigscreen Beyond 2, which is pricier and exists in its own universe where slim is the new normal. But hey, at $200 less than that bad boy, plus all those SteamVR extras, it’s not too shabby. Worth a splash of cash if you have, you know, a VR-ready PC—which, let’s be honest, who doesn’t? (Just kidding, I totally get if you don’t.)

Oh right, speaking of what’s hot, HTC’s got more bundles up their sleeve with the Vive Focus Vision. This one’s the evolution of VR living, mixing virtual and mixed reality. Wireless streaming? Check. Cabled tethering? Sure thing.

From now till June 30th, like clockwork, you can snag two of these fancy bundles loaded with fun games:
– The whole enchilada for $1,149, which includes the headset, controllers, some wired streaming kit (because tethering is cool again), and games like Metro Awakening, Arizona Sunshine 2, among others.
– Just the headset and controllers for $1,049. Plus games. Pretty games.

Random note! The Vive Focus Vision has been hiking up its price due to some little issue we like to call tariffs. Yeah, thanks, world economy.

By the way, if you jumped ship to Europe or the UK, HTC’s got more deals cooking there too, through June 30th (again, I hope you’re keeping notes):

– Vive Pro 2 Full Kit and Headset? They’re in the game, obviously.
– Vive XR Elite with some games tossed in.
– Trackers, dongles, base stations—if you can dream it, they probably have a bundle for it.

And with that, whew, I’ve rambled enough tech for one day. Whether you’re upgrading or just window shopping, there’s VR waiting out there for you!
