HTC announced the Vive Pro Head Mounted Display (HMD) at CES 2018 in January, alongside a new wireless adapter. At the time we weren?t told the precise launch schedule or pricing for this premium headset. Now HTC has shared more info about its Vive Pro HMD launch plans, including pricing, pre-orders, and release dates. As an added bonus HTC has announced a worldwide price cut for the existing HTC Vive HMD.

The HTC Vive Pro HMD will be available for $799 with global pre-orders open now. In a blog post HTC says that the premium HMDs will start shipping on 5th April. To thanks early adopters anyone purchasing a Vive Pro will receive a free six-month trial of a Viveport Subscription. This subscription service lets customers choose 5 free titles per month from a 400 strong roster. If you buy a Vive Pro at a later date the free subscription period will only be two months. On the topic of subscriptions HTC has given notice that Viveport sub pricing will increase to $8.99 per month from 22nd March onwards (this Thursday).
