HTC have announced they’re going to be bundling in free copies ofHalf-Life: Alyxwith everyVive Cosmos EliteVR headset today - and that includes everyone who pre-ordered the headset as well. The Vive CosmosElite, which launches worldwide today, is HTC’s latest high-end PC-based VR headset and will come with a redemption code forHalf-Life: Alyxin the box, which will then unlock the game when it launches on March 23rd next week.
The Cosmos Elite, on the other hand, is available to ship right now, and comes with two Vive controllers, two base stations and both types of face plate in the box. It’s also compatible with the original Vive and Vive Pro controllers, as well as their base station versions 1.0 and 2.0, and it also supports the Vive Wireless Adapter and their Vive Tracker peripheral, too.
Alas, the offer only extends to those buying the complete Cosmos Elite headset bundle at the moment, as the standalone external tracking face plate that HTC were planning to offer for existing Cosmos owners wishing to upgrade has now been delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus situation. Originally set to launch for £199 / $199 sometime between April and June, it will now likely launch toward the end of that period rather than closer to next month.
I’ll be taking a closer look at how the regular Cosmos compares to the Index early next week, but for now, here’severything you need to get ready for the launch of Half-Life: Alyx, including all the different headsets' PC requirements and how they compare to the game’s minimum spec as well.
