We already knew that Half-Life Alyx was offered with the Valve Index and that it was the cause of the stock shortages, and although we had to count now on the same offer associated with the brand new Vive Cosmos Elite which is released today March 18, 2020. This is an offer that can allow those who are not yet equipped with an VR helmet and who can't wait for the imminent arrival of the next set of Valve, regretting that they can't get their hands on an Index quickly, to find an emergency door, and to those who would covet the new HTC helmet with a tempting commercial offer, even if stocks are also limited and it was necessary to be quick before there are no more of them.
To get the helmet, it will still cost you 999$, but it is in the high-end range with a combined resolution of 2880 x 1700 pixels (1440 x 1700 pixels per eye) at 90Hz with a 110° FOV, integrated headphones and microphone, and comes with two Vive 1.0 base stations and two Vive controllers, not to mention the possibility of adding a tracking front panel.

As for Half-Life Alyx , Valve has confirmed that it will be released on March 23rd, 2020 on Valve Index , HTC Vive , Oculus Rift and WMR , as planned, and has even specified that we will be able to preload it on Steam from Friday to be operational as soon as it is launched at 6pm at our place. The download code for Half-Life Alyx will be sent by email on March 23rd to the buyers of the Vive Cosmos Elite.
Following the containment to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus, Ubisoft has decided to allow players to enjoy a free long weekend to play Assassin's Creed Odyssey.
