Sales start March 9th at 10am PT via the Steam digital storefront.
With the launch of Valve’s highly-anticipated VR first-person shooter Half-Life: Alyx less than three weeks away, those without VR headsets are clamoring to get their hands on anything capable of running the long-awaited Half-Life prequel/sequel hybrid. Of course, the most immersive experience will come from using the Valve Index, a beastly piece of VR hardware featuring dual 1440×1600 RGB LCDs, ultra near-field flat-panel speakers, and custom pressure-sensitive “Knuckles” controllers.
Despite the daunting $999 price tag, the Valve Index has proved a hit among dedicated VR enthusiasts, offering what is arguably the highest-quality consumer headset available at the moment. So much so Valve has actually had difficult time keeping up with consumer demand since the headset’s release this past June. Thankfully, Valve is swooping in at the last minute with a new supply of Index headsets which will go on sale this Monday, March 9th.
Users will need to log on to the Steam storefront via a web browser or dedicated client at 10am PT/1pm ET, at which point the full Valve Index VR Kit—which includes the headset, controllers, two 2.0 base stations, and a copy of Half-Life: Alyx, will be made available for purchase. Those interested will need to be on their computers at the ready at the stroke of 10 even have a chance at picking one up.
In the meantime, those who already own an Index can hop onto SteamVR now and download two new Home environments inspired by Half-Life: Alyx.
Half-Life: Alyx launches on SteamVR March 23rd for $59.99.
