Cyber Monday Virtual Reality Deals for 2019
Don’t miss out on Half-Life: Alyx set to be released early next year. Here are some of best Cyber Monday virtual deals to take advantage of and hop onto VR experiences.
The first full length Half-Life game in a decade is arriving early next year and it will be exclusively available in virtual reality. If you are shopping for VR headset deals and promos, we have compiled for you the best Cyber Monday VR headset deals for 2019 that will allow you to lay your hands on some of the top VR headsets and subscriptions at deeply discounted pricing.
There are lots of VR deals ahead of the Cyber Monday. HTC started the sale with a generous $300 discount on its Vive Pro Starter Kit as well as a $100 discount on the recently launched Vive Cosmos headset. The Oculus Rift S headset is also having a $50 discount through December 2.
There are still no discounts for Valve Index but the headset is already sold out in many US and Canadian retailers as buyers rush to acquire the headset in readiness for the Half-Life: Alyx. Fortunately, users can still enjoy Half-Life with an Oculus headset. Though they do not deliver a performance similar to that of the full-room VR Valve headsets, they still do relatively well.
