Half-Life: Alyx results in high demand for Valve Index VR headset

The Valve Index virtual reality system for PCs is now back-ordered until after Christmas in the U.S., according to its Steam store page.

This comes just over a week after the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx, Valve’s first “flagship” VR game. The store page simply lists “due to recent high demand”, but Alyx is the obvious culprit given this kind of backorder situation hasn’t happened since Index launched.
