HTC Vive has launched its winter sale offering savings of up to £250 on some of their top VR headsets. The HTC Vive sale is for a limited time only and runs up until 30th of January 2022 — making it the perfect opportunity to snap up a great discount on a VR headset and immerse yourself in virtual worlds on PC.
In addition to these promotions, HTC is also offering customers a code allowing them 2-months free of unlimited VR with Viveport Infinity — which means you'll get access to endless VR games, apps and videos. If you want to continue subscribing after the 2-month trial period, it's either £12.99 for a monthly membership, or £8.99 for the annual subscription.
