It’s been more than a week since Valve’s announcement of the upcoming VR title Half-Life: Alyx. Since then Valve’s VR Index has already sold out. According to the US and Canada store page, three out of the four package deals are currently listed as sold out. A message ‘Back in Stock Soon’ has replaced the order button.
The screenshots below are from the US Steam store.
Phil Spencer had the opportunity to play the VR title in the summer. Which was probably still in production and found the game amazing. He also said that VR is not the focus of the company, at least for the time being.
Fair feedback. I've said publically, I love how our industry has pioneered: AI, physics, 3D, RT, VR/AR etc. For us, it's about focus on our innovations right now. I've played some great VR games, I got to play HL:Alyx in the summer, amazing. It's just not our focus with Scarlett

Now regarding the Index Headset, I’ve checked the Steam store and all packages are still available here, with an estimated delivery of 4-8 businesses days.
Personally I’m not interested in VR at the moment. Even so, getting some more Half-Life is always welcome, even if it is in VR. Hopefully if the game is a success, maybe then Valve will give us the highly anticipated continuation of the Half-Life 2. Fingers crossed!
Half-Life: Alyx is scheduled for released in March 2020.
Thanks Gamingbolt and RoadtoVR.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!
