Beyond 2 - FAQ
The Beyond 2 is here!
It's an excited time for all, with many ongoing questions. Here's some answers to the most common inquiries...
For existing Beyond owners...
Will my prescription lens inserts work with Beyond 2?
Existing Beyond 1 lens inserts will work with the Beyond 2 - however, only lens inserts ordered in 2025+ are compatible with the Beyond 2e due to physical size constraints.
Are there any discounts or trade-in programs for Beyond 1 owners?
There's currently no trade-in program available. However, you can order a Beyond 2 by itself and reuse your exsisting cushion, cables, and straps for $849 (USA pricing) [at this link.]
What should I do with my original Beyond?
If you wish to sell your Beyond, we offer paid IPD swaps for $69 (within warranty) or $169 (outside warranty) for second hand buyers, plus shipping. (USA pricing)
New custom fit cushions may be purchased for $120
Beyond 1 is also compatible with the new halo strap & universal light seal as an alternative option.

Will the Halo Mount delay my order?
If you order a full kit + halo mount, it will ship out first with the universal cushion, followed by the Halo Mount later on.
If you order a full kit + halo mount + custom cushion, headset + custom cushion ships first
If you order an upgrade kit + halo mount, headset ships first
Upgrading / Changing Your Order
Can I modify my existing order, or do I need to cancel it and place a new order?
For any order edits, including changing the interface option, adding or removing eyetracking, or splitting fulfilment, please contact us at support@bigscreenvr.com or via a ticket on our Discord server! We can make the necessary changes directly and then refund or invoice you by email accordingly.
Can I upgrade my Beyond 2 with eye tracking after receiving it?
We'd love to provide this ability and may do so in the future.
However, this might not become available until 2026, as the team focuses on getting everyone their Beyond 2 and 2e first.
It would require sending your Beyond 2 back to us, and will come at additional cost due to the nessecary teardown and reassembly to do so. (as such, it will cost more than the $200 price difference between the two)
Can I buy Cover Shells or the Universal Face Cushion directly?
Not at this time. However, we're aware of the demand and will take a look at the possibility in 2026.
Backwards compatibility
Your existing cushions, straps, 3D printed mods, cables, and linkbox will work with the BS2
The trusty K-cloth is also still compatible
For prescription lens inserts...
2023-2024 lenses work with Beyond 1 and 2
2025+ lenses work with 1, 2, and 2e
