It’s taken nearly two years, but the ultra-expensiveHTC Vive Prohas finally received a permanent price cut straight from HTC itself. The VR headset deal is set to stick around, offering a$599/£599price tag on the headset itself and staggered deals across each bundle option.
The 2018 headset has been competing with far cheaper VR headsets since its release, with theOculus Riftcoming in at$399/£399and thePlayStation VRoffering prices of just$289/£219. While it’s still not seeing prices that cheap, the HTC Vive Pro VR headset is getting there with this latest drop.
The HTC Vive Pro price opens you up to a high powered virtual reality headset. It’s long been considered the pinnacle in consumer VR, so you know you’re taking home the cutting edge in VR development. The high-resolution headset features AMOLED screens enhanced with 3D spatial audio that engages active noise cancellation when you’re in VR but can clip back to your surroundings when needed.
The headset itself has also been developed to offer above-average comfort, with evenly distributed weight and a balanced center of gravity as well as face cushioning. Thanks to SteamVR tracking, the Pro model is capable of amazing room-scale experiences, with headset and controller tracking working together to produce a 360-degree play area.
Just make sure your PC meets theminimum requirements, as a standard GTX 1050 graphics card won’t make the cut.
