Valve launches reservation system for Steam Controller

Valve has introduced a reservation programme for its newly launched Steam Controller following a rapid sell-out that frustrated many buyers. The system opened on 8 May at 10am Pacific Time, allowing users to secure a place in line for future stock.

The company announced the changes overnight on 8 May after the controller went on sale on 4 May at a price of £85. In a Steam post, Valve said high interest had created an incredibly frustrating purchase experience and outlined steps to improve it while limiting reseller activity.

Valve has revised its estimates for Steam Controller deliveries following unexpectedly high demand for the device. Customers making new reservations are now told they will receive their orders in 2027. Those who reserved earlier face windows of September 2026, December 2026, or 2027.
