A special limited-edition version of the Viture Beast XR glasses, themed after the upcoming action RPG Phantom Blade Zero, will be available for preorder starting August 27 for $599. These glasses are set to begin shipping on October 29, coinciding with the release of Phantom Blade Zero for PC and PlayStation 5.
While the internal technology mirrors the standard Viture Beast XR glasses, the exterior of this "Phantom Beast" edition is adorned with miniature swords and includes a suite of themed accessories. The approximately 4.9-inch replica swords attached to the glasses' frame are a stylistic addition rather than functional elements. The design also incorporates a splash of red and a custom carrying case inspired by Phantom Blade Zero's visual identity.
Included with the Phantom Beast glasses are a 12.5cm Mó Sanguine Blade Replica, a lens cloth, a game art card, and a sticker set. The Viture Beast XR glasses offer advanced display technology, featuring dual Sony Micro-OLED screens that provide a 1200p resolution at 120Hz per eye. The virtual display is equivalent to a 174-inch screen and includes features like five display modes, real-time 3D conversion, and adjustable screen anchoring. Despite some chromatic aberration at the edges, the central viewing area delivers a sharp and clear image.
These XR glasses are compatible with PCs and handheld PC gaming devices such as the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally X out of the box. For console connectivity, an optional Pro Mobile Dock is required to establish a digital connection. This dock also functions as a power bank and can support a second set of XR glasses. For Nintendo Switch 2 owners, a cradle accessory is available to attach the glasses to the console and extend playtime.
For those interested in the Viture XR glasses technology but not the Phantom Blade Zero edition, the regular Viture Beast XR glasses are available through retailers like Amazon. Additionally, Viture offers the Pro 2 XR glasses for $299, which are a more lightweight option and feature 1080p 120Hz screens capable of reaching 1,600 nits of peak brightness. These also incorporate UltraClarity 3.0 and Birdbath optics for enhanced image sharpness and reduced chromatic aberration.
