We’ve heard your feedback and are now offering an upgrade option for existing Vive owners (or those with base stations and controllers already) including a headset-only version of the Cosmos Elite Headset and the External Tracking Faceplate as a stand-alone accessory. Best of all, both purchases come with a redemption code for Half-Life: Alyx* and six months of Viveport Infinity for free.
The Vive Cosmos Elite pairs the performance of external tracking alongside the flexibility of the Cosmos platform to meet the needs of the most demanding VR entertainment enthusiasts. All Vive Cosmos headsets include the same impressive visuals (2880 x 1700 combined pixel resolution), and comfort features including an innovative flip-up design that can transport users to and from their virtual world with ease.
Retailing for $549, the headset-only option (for existing Vive owners with base stations and controllers) includes a pre-installed External Tracking Faceplate on the Cosmos headset. The External Tracking Faceplate retails for $199 as an upgrade accessory that swaps out the original inside-out tracking faceplate that ships with Vive Cosmos. Vive Cosmos Elite and External Tracking Faceplate are compatible with Steam VR base station versions 1.0 or 2.0, original Vive or Vive Pro controllers, and Valve Knuckles controllers.
The Elite headset will begin shipping starting in April with on-sale date varying by region (see chart below). The External Tracking Faceplate will launch globally later in Q2. Given demand, we are releasing these to markets as quickly as we can given supply chain challenges associated with the ongoing health crisis.
