Valve Officially Starts Shipping First Steam Controller Orders in 19+ Countries

Valve announced the next version of the Steam Controller in November 2025, just after celebrating the tenth anniversary of their first PC gamepad. It officially went on sale May 4th at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, but many fans were able to place orders as early as 9:58 a.m. PT. Despite Valve releasing stock in multiple batches, the controller quickly sold out—within a few hours—causing it to repeatedly appear as both available and unavailable during the busy launch.
