Vive Cosmos Elite Comes with a Free Copy of ‘Half-Life: Alyx’

Originally posted on: www.roadtovr.com

HTC’s Vive Cosmos Elite ships out today, and if all you were expecting in the box was the hardware itself and maybe a few free months of Viveport, you’d be wrong. Everyone who buys a Cosmos Elite is getting Half-Life: Alyx for free.

Vive Cosmos owners will still need to wait to get Cosmos Elite in their hands, as the digital code is included in the box itself, which is a bit of a downer if you’re just now thinking of making an upgrade from an older headset but still want the game right away. 

It’s a limited time offer, with terms and conditions stating that it will be available while supplies until June 30th, 2020.

Whether that $100 savings over Index accurately accounts for the 2016-era motion controllers and tracking base stations, well, it doesn’t really feel like. However, you slice it though, a free copy of Half-Life: Alyx certainly sweetens the pot if you were already on the fence.

If you’re considering either headset, make sure to check out our deep-dive review for Vive Cosmos, the Vive Cosmos Elite faceplate, and Valve Index to decide for yourself.

What is 360 VR Video?

360 video is a video that is recorded in all directions at the same time with multiple cameras. The videos are stitched together either internally in the camera or externally using special software.

It then forms one spherical video that is controlled by the viewer, enabling them to look up, down, right or left at their discretion.

Is 360 Video Virtual Reality?

I want you to be the judge.
