Beyond 2's are unexpectedly flying off the shelf this week!
Let's frame it this way: we'll sell more Beyond 2's in a few days than we typically sell in an entire MONTH!
Fortunately, with additional inventory landing in Los Angeles on Friday (and ongoing shipments throughout the rest of the year), we expect to be well stocked with every Beyond 2 model now and through the holiday season.
This surprises me every time it happens.
Yesterday, Valve launched the highly anticipated Steam Frame.
We sold more Beyond 2’s yesterday than any other day this year.
Crazy! You’d think sales would drop, but the opposite keeps happening…We saw this when Apple Vision Pro launched too.
Rising tide floats all boats!

Our next batch of Halo Mounts just landed in LAX! We expect pallets to arrive at our warehouse on Monday after clearing customs over the weekend. Regular air freight to LA over the next couple of months will help us ship tons of Halo Mounts quickly.
Update on Beyond 2: a couple weeks ago, we were low on Beyond 2 inventory. All Beyond 2 orders in the past week have shipped within 2 business days or less. Our new website now shows leadtimes per SKU and are updated in realtime. Check it out: store.bigscreenvr.com/produc…

10 years.
Bigscreen started in 2016 as an app on Steam for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Now, we've built two generations of our VR headset, and shipped 50,000+ orders to customers in 50+ countries.
Today also marks one year since Beyond 2 launched. In the first 10 days, Beyond 2 sold more units than Beyond 1 did in its first year of sales. Bigscreen is now profitable, with annual revenue growing 3X year over year for the past 4 years in a row. We've built a great business, product, and community, and we have an ambitious roadmap ahead of us.
Thanks to everyone who's been part of this journey. The people who tested the Beyond prototypes in 2021. The passionate customers who preordered the Beyond 1 and Beyond 2. There's a lot more to build, and we're just getting started.
I wrote a post reflecting on the past 10 years. You can read more here: nitter.net/DShankar/status/208030…

An update on the Bigscreen Beyond 2 Halo Mount.
In June, we successfully shipped the first batch of Halo Mounts to customers, as promised in our April update. These production units incorporate numerous design improvements, and we're happy with how well the new Flip-Up mechanism is performing.
However, during preparation for mass production, we found that a plastic part known as the "sledge link" could break in the first batch of units, potentially affecting an estimated 2-5% of customers. Because the Beyond is used for thousands of hours, durability is paramount, and at mass scale, >1% failure rates are unacceptable.
The engineering team made another tough call: changing this part from injection molded plastic to injection molded metal (MIM). This significantly improves durability, but comes with one final delay of approximately 7 weeks.
We expect to resume production by August 20, ship the next batch in early September, and fully catch up on the preorder backlog in November. Based on results from the first batch, we anticipate no further engineering changes or delays.
We're sorry for the wait. We think the version shipping to customers will ultimately be worth it.

Earlier this year, we crossed a proud milestone: Bigscreen has shipped 50,000+ orders since we first started shipping in 2023.
We also recently expanded Beyond 2 availability to many new countries including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Bigscreen now ships to 50+ countries worldwide.
The Beyond 2 and 2e have been in stock and shipping within 1-2 business days for most of this year, with most orders shipping same day.
