HTC will bundle Fallout 4 VR with the Vive headset

Virtual reality is off to a slow start, but HTC is giving it a kick today as it is announcing that it will bundle Bethesda’s upcoming Fallout 4 VR with the HTC Vive.

The bundle shows that HTC is still being aggressive about pushing VR to the mass market, even as forecasters reduce their overall expectations for VR sales. HTC launched the Vive in mid-2016 at a price of $800. In August, it cut the price to $600 in answer to Facebook’s Oculus division dropping the price of the Oculus Rift headset.
