The release of Half-Life: Alyx on March 23 is getting closer, but the Valve Index remains largely out of print. As Valve now admits, the situation will not necessarily improve significantly in the coming months.

The announcement of the full VR shooter Half-Life: Alyx triggered a proverbial run on the VR headset Valve Index, which has been hard to get since then. Valve had subsequently promised an update on what it would look like with replenishment – and has now released it.
The company has now commented on UploadVR and admits that the corona virus, which is particularly widespread in China, also has a noticeable impact on the supply chain and ultimately the production of the Valve Index in this valve. Replenishment of the Valve Index is on the way, but the number of pieces will fall significantly short of the expected quantity in the coming months. Or translated: The Valve Index remains scarce and anyone who wants to have one may have to wait a long time.
"With the release of Half-Life: Alyx on March 23rd, we're working hard to meet the demand for the Valve Index and want to reassure you all that there will definitely be new index systems ahead of the game's launch However, due to the corona virus health crisis, our production plans are also impacted, which is why we will be able to offer fewer units for sale in the coming months than we originally planned. The entire team is working hard to maximize availability, "said Statement from Valve.
At the same time, the manufacturer asks interested players to use the reminder function on Steam to be notified when new quantities of the VR headset are available.
If you are only interested in Half-Life: Alyx and not necessarily in holding the original Valve VR headset, you can luckily avoid the competition. The shooter also supports HTC Vive, Oculus Rift or Windows Mixed Reality.
Valve has now released the first trailer for the new VR shooter Half-Life: Alyx.
