Valve's VR headset the Valve Index originally launched back in 2019, where it quickly garnered positive feedback and a reputation as one of the best VR headsets to date. Thanks in part to the impressive dual 1440x1600 RGB LCDs with 120Hz support. And now the Valve Index is headed to our shores in August -- via EB Games.


With the release date set for Wednesday, August 18 2021 for the following (pre-orders are open):

Valve Index Complete VR Kit - $1,899.95
Valve Index VR Headset & Controller 2 Pack - $1,499.95
Valve Index VR Base Station (Single Unit) - $249.95
Valve Index VR Controller 2 Pack - $499.95

This is great news for those that have been looking to get their hands on the Valve Index locally -- as officially, the unit hasn't been made available to Australians via Steam. The Valve Index is still considered one of the best VR headsets on the market, though as per the release of the Oculus Quest 2 and headsets that offer up in-headset tracking (as opposed to the use of Base Stations) the Valve Index is best suited to a dedicated PC setup.
