Valve has announced that reservations for the new Steam Controller open tomorrow, May 8, at 10:00 AM Pacific Time.
The company is using a queue system similar to the original Steam Deck launch to handle high demand and limit bots and scalpers.
Important details:
โข Limit of one controller per Steam account.
โข Once your turn arrives, you will receive an email and have 72 hours to complete the purchase.
โข Eligibility requires an account in good standing that made at least one purchase on Steam before April 27, 2026.
โข Anyone who already bought a controller during the initial May 4 wave is not eligible for this round.
Valve will continue adding stock as it becomes available from the manufacturer.
