Simulation, gaming, films, and social VR
Step into worlds where the line between real and virtual dissolves: a track, a cockpit, a theater, a room full of people who are somewhere else entirely, all with a depth and clarity nothing else in VR matches. Beyond 2 isn’t about viewing VR. It’s about living it.
01 — Simulation
VR puts you in the seat: true scale, real depth, corners you judge the way you would in a real car. Beyond 2 renders it all sharply enough to take that immersion to the next level, lap after lap, and at 107 grams with the form factor and Custom-fit Cushion it stays comfortable through a full stint.
Long racing and flight sessions come down to weight and fit. Beyond 2 weighs 107 grams and its cushion is made from a scan of your face. Per-eye IPD and the modular strap system tune the rest, so there is almost nothing on your head to notice in hour three.
Beyond 2 works with any racing or flight sim that supports VR. With the biggest simulators we’ve gone further, partnering directly to bring native eyetracking and dynamic foveated rendering (DFR), so detail stays sharp where you look and frame rates climb everywhere else.

02 — High-End Gaming
The best VR games are not games you watch, they are places you step into: the slow-burn tension of Half-Life: Alyx, milsims like Onward, a quiet paddle through KayakVR: Mirage. No single spec makes that work. It is high-resolution micro-OLED displays and pancake optics on a headset light enough to disappear, fitted to your face by the Custom-fit Cushion. That combination puts you inside the experience instead of in front of it.
/ Fine Detail
Dive deeper into your virtual worlds, noticing intricacies and nuances previously lost to the eye. From the finest textures to the subtle play of light and shadow, Beyond’s displays capture it all, bringing a richness to VR that you’ve never experienced before.
/ OLED Contrast
Night scenes, unlit corridors and deep space read the way the artist lit them. Black stays black instead of washing out to grey, and the detail hiding in the shadows stays visible.
Our picks · SteamVR
At Bigscreen, we’re avid gamers too. These are the VR titles we keep coming back to, picked for gameplay, image quality, and how much they gain from Beyond 2’s displays.
03 — Media
Watching movies in 3D used to mean a trip to the theater. Beyond 2 puts you in the best seat of one: an IMAX-sized screen in front of you, and friends dropping into the seats beside you from anywhere in the world. It was designed alongside the Bigscreen app, for exactly this.
How Bigscreen started
Bigscreen began as “Bigscreen Beta” in 2016, a Steam and Oculus app: a social platform for watching movies together in a virtual theater.
Learn more about BigscreenEach pixel emits its own light and turns fully off for black, with no backlight behind it. Dark scenes hold their depth while highlights stay bright, at a contrast ratio no backlit panel approaches. Drag the comparison below.
OLED has been making waves in the TV industry, but in VR you’re essentially living inside these displays. Heightened contrast, vibrant color, and profound blacks add up to an image closer to real life than any other VR headset delivers.
Comfort was a design requirement, not a feature. 107 grams, 52.4 mm thin, and a cushion made from a scan of your face: a headset you can forget about for the length of a film.
A gap between cushion and face lets the room leak into the movie. Beyond 2’s facial interface is made from a scan of your face, so the seal is complete: no stray light, no distractions, just the screen.
/ Your Fit
After you order your headset, we’ll email you to begin the 3D face scanning process. Our software generates a detailed sub-millimeter precision 3D mesh of your face in order to achieve a perfect fit.
/ Zero Light Leak
Based on that precise scan, we craft a facial interface just for you. With a perfectly fitting face cushion, there is no more light leakage in VR. This enables ultimate immersion, as you’re no longer distracted by light and objects in your surrounding.

The Ultimate VRChat Experience
Explore worlds together for hours on end
VR Chat has emerged as the virtual playground where people from all over the globe converge to chat, interact, and experience unique worlds together. With Beyond 2 we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in VR Chat, offering an experience that’s unparalleled in terms of immersion, clarity, and connectivity.
Small enough to fit inside a Valve Index
Beyond 2’s entire chassis fits within a Valve Index’s silhouette, and at 107 grams there is little weight to feel. Long social sessions end when you decide, not when the headset does.
Studio-grade stereo microphones
Voice carries social VR. Beyond 2’s stereo microphone array uses studio-grade components and membranes, so your voice comes through clean: no plosives, no compression, no artifacts in multiplayer games and social VR. Hear it yourself below.
Full body tracking, every SteamVR tracker
Beyond 2 supports all SteamVR trackers out of the box: Vive, Tundra, SlimeVR, and the rest. Add trackers to your hips and ankles and your whole body follows you into VRChat, so you can dance, pose, and express yourself.
