HTC Vive Cosmos Comes Bundled With Half-Life Alyx For All Customers

HTC has announced that it has partnered with Valve Software and will bundle Half-Life: Alyx with the new HTC Vive Cosmos Elite headset. This offer applies to all customers, even those who have already pre-ordered the headset. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/04/half-life-alyx-13-minutes-of-valve-commentary-ign-first"] The HTC Vive Cosmos Elite launches today, and is HTC’s high-end headset featuring fan cooling and the ability to pair with other accessories such as the Valve Index’s Knuckles controllers. Previously, Valve had announced that Half-Life: Alyx would be provided free for all Valve Index owners, and so this news marks HTC as the second company able to make a similar offer. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=half-life-alyx-first-screenshots-4k&captions=true"] Half-Life: Alyx launches March 23, and is the first Half-Life game from Valve since 2007’s Half-Life 2: Episode 2. It’s a full-length game built for VR, and our hands-on preview of it made it clear that it’s once again something very special. For more, check out how Zelda influenced the game’s Gravity Gloves.
