This gives anyone who didn&#8217;t manage to get themselves fully kitted out in some of the best VR machines on offer the chance to do so at pre-tariff prices. It&#8217;s a smart move, turning the impending price hikes into an opportunity for one last taste of affordable gaming for those in the US.<\/p>\n<p>While we&#8217;ve definitely seen <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/heres-how-us-tariffs-have-affected-pc-gaming-hardware-from-paused-shipments-to-new-investments\/\" target=\"_blank\">tech prices go up due to the tariffs<\/a>, it&#8217;s worth noting we don&#8217;t know exactly how much HTC intends to price things in the future. As such, how much of a deal these regularly priced pieces of tech end up being is up in the air.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Order by 5\/31, we&#8217;ll cover the tariff cost!&#8221; boasts Vive&#8217;s sale site. Essentially it&#8217;s a sale, but for the prices you&#8217;d&#8217; have expected to see before these announced taxes. The sale covers the Vive Focus Vision, Vive Ultimate Tracker 3+1 Kit, Vive Tracker (3.0), and the Base Station 2.0. This should let most people get setup for a full VR experience, or just grab those last bits before having to pay the extra on top.<\/p>\n<p>For those brand new to VR, the Vive Focus Vision might be the way to go. It&#8217;s the latest headset from Vive and works as a PC headset as well as a standalone VR machine. This means you can go via display port and have a wicked high fidelity experience with a capable PC connected or just go lite mode with what will run on the headset. It also offers mixed reality, eye tracking, and additional tracker support.<\/p>\n<p>If you compare to the potentially more commonly owned <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/vr\/im-still-waiting-for-a-high-end-vr-headset-good-enough-to-make-me-ditch-my-quest-3\/\">Meta&#8217;s Quest 3 headset<\/a>, it&#8217;s similar but more feature complete. Realy, the Vive Focus Vision looks more like what the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/vr-hardware\/htcs-next-vr-headset-is-a-little-less-meta-quest-and-a-little-more-apple-vision-pro-in-its-bid-to-be-the-everything-device\/\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Vision Pro headset was claiming to be<\/a>, only probably good. It currently goes for <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vive.com\/us\/product\/vive-focus-vision\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\">$999 on the website<\/a>, so you&#8217;ve got until the end of the month if you want to pick it up before that price goes up.<\/p>\n<p>The Vive Ultimate Tracker 3+1 Kit is a set of accessories that allows you to track more of your body than the standard setup. This one needs to be paired with a SteamVR compatible headset and controllers, so is better as an augment to a current setup, or an addon to the Vive Focus Vision. Once set up, it lets you track your head, hands, waist, and feet without lag. It&#8217;s worth being aware that the benefit of something like this will depend on the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-vr-games\/\" target=\"_blank\">games you&#8217;re looking to play<\/a> too. You can pick this up in the not-quite-a-sale<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vive.com\/us\/accessory\/vive-ultimate-tracker\/\" target=\"_blank\"> sale for $599<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If that seems like a bit of overkill for your setup, then there&#8217;s the Vive Tracker (3.0). This is a cheaper tracker that works with base station-compatible headsets and allows you to replace controllers with your body movement. Again it&#8217;ll depend on what you&#8217;re playing and your setup as to whether or not this is worthwhile, but you can pick it up for <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vive.com\/us\/accessory\/tracker3\/\" target=\"_blank\">$129 until the 31st<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, there&#8217;s the Base Station 2.0, which works with Vive Pro Series and Cosmos Elite headsets. This allows for higher precision wide-area tracking of up to Up to 1000 sq. ft, so it&#8217;s a good bet for those that have a whole room setup for their VR gaming shenanigans. This one is <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vive.com\/us\/accessory\/base-station2\/\" target=\"_blank\">priced at $199<\/a>, but at time of writing doesn&#8217;t appear to be in stock on the HTC website.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not Vive&#8217;s lineup is what you&#8217;re looking for in a headset, this sale makes a good point. If you&#8217;re looking to get into VR, or any other kind of gaming tech, it might be worth doing so before price hikes take hold if they haven&#8217;t already. Hopefully we&#8217;ll see some other companies follow in HTC&#8217;s footsteps here and offer some tariff sales to help offset the sudden shock these price hikes are likely to bring to the wallets of the general public.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"e4abab04-66d1-4a48-8f3e-7cd611422ffe\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension48=\"Best CPU for gaming\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6YnzywGGRfcnNjLz2FRjx9\" name=\"1646306533.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/htc-vive-makes-impending-tariffs-a-sales-event-giving-us-consumers-one-last-chance-to-jump-into-vr-before-the-price-hikes.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-cpu-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"e4abab04-66d1-4a48-8f3e-7cd611422ffe\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension48=\"Best CPU for gaming\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Best CPU for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Top chips from Intel and AMD.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-motherboards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming motherboard<\/strong><\/a>: The right boards.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-graphics-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best graphics card<\/strong><\/a>: Your perfect pixel-pusher awaits.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-ssd-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best SSD for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Get into the game first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/vr-hardware\/htc-vive-makes-impending-tariffs-a-sales-event-giving-us-consumers-one-last-chance-to-jump-into-vr-before-the-price-hikes\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Trump&#8217;s tariffs on tech leading the PC gaming industry in uncertainty around potential price hikes, HTC Vive is taking advantage of the situation with a special sale.
