HTC is marking the one-year anniversary of its Vive VR headset with a one-day sale, plus the launch of a subscription app service.
Vive doesn’t get permanent price drop, but it will offer an app subscription service.
One year of home holodecks is almost on the books, and HTC is marking the date with a sale.
HTC Vive is the most expensive VR hardware on the market and hasn’t formally dropped in price since its launch a year ago — unlike the Oculus Rift. However, HTC is dropping Vive’s price by $100 to $699 on Wednesday only. The price drop mirrors the sale from last year’s Black Friday. Perhaps at some point, the Vive will stay at $699 permanently. Not yet.
The bigger news is that the Vive is launching a subscription software service via its HTC app hub Viveport , offering a rotating selection of apps for $6.
