| HTC unveiled the Vive Pro at CES 2018 as a professional-grade evolution of the original Vive. Pre-orders began March 19, 2018 with shipping starting April 5, 2018. Initially sold headset-only at $799 for existing Vive owners, a full kit followed later. The Vive Pro targeted enthusiasts and enterprise users requiring higher resolution and improved comfort. HTC simultaneously reduced the original Vive price from $599 to $499. The Vive Pro Eye (with eye tracking) and Vive Pro 2 followed as successors.<ref name="htc">{{cite web |url=https://www.vive.com/us/newsroom/2018-03-19-2/ |title=VIVE Pro Announcement |publisher=HTC VIVE |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref>
