Sure, here’s a reworked version of the article:

Okay, so Bigscreen dropped something pretty wild the other day. It’s this new ‘VRChat Edition’ of their super sleek, feather-light Beyond 2e PC VR headset. Apparently, they’re aiming it at the hardcore VRChat folks who basically live in that digital universe.
Last month they rolled out the first bunch of Beyond 2 headsets. Yeah, both the regular and the fancy eye-tracking Beyond 2e versions. Now, they’re teasing this special VRChat Edition, promising it’ll make its way to users’ doorsteps, maybe around September 2025-ish? Don’t quote me on that, just what they said.
What’s the deal with this VRChat Edition? Pretty much the same guts as the Beyond 2e — eye-tracking magic, some ridiculously sharp 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays, and a nice wide 116° diagonal FOV. All made possible by these new pancake lenses (funny name, considering the tech). And man, it only weighs 107g, which is like… nothing? Anyway, I digress.
Image aside, they’ve slapped a $1,269 sticker on this baby. It’s just fifty bucks over the regular Beyond 2e, but hey, you get this groovy translucent Atomic Purple shell. Reminds me of those old school gadgets — maybe a Game Boy or something. Oh, and the packaging has some quirky hand-drawn artwork. Love that homemade feel.
Now, some tech nerd note here: Make sure your rig’s VR-ready if you want any of Bigscreen’s headsets to do their thing. SteamVR base stations, controllers, and maybe some trackers are a must if you want the full VRChat body tracking fun. Don’t know if your setup can handle it? Better check that out. Seriously.
Oh, and did I mention there are these exclusive VRChat digital items thrown in? Stuff like stickers and profile badges. Bigscreen hinted they’ll jazz up the VRChat Edition even more down the line, possibly with some rare giveaway stuff. Who doesn’t love a good freebie, right?
For those who’ve already bought a preorder, turns out you can ping their support to upgrade to this VRChat Edition. Just reach out to them; you know, the usual support email drill.
By the way, if you’re itching for more details, you can watch that detailed chat where Bigscreen’s head honcho Darshan Shankar and VRChat’s community boss Tupper dive deep into the whole shebang — headset upgrades, eye-tracking, the works.
And there it is. Maybe a little all over the place, but isn’t that half the fun?
