Valve is tackling the shortage of its popular Steam Controllers with a new reservation system, and it’s a game-changer for fans who missed out. Starting May 8th, you’ll be able to reserve your spot in line for a Steam Controller, helping to curb the frustrating scalping issue.
So, what’s the deal? Valve’s new system lets you secure a Steam Controller without the resale madness. You’ll need a Steam account in good standing, and the reservation is limited to one controller per user. Plus, if you’ve snagged one before, sorry, you’re out of luck. This move follows Valve’s promise to bring more Steam Controllers soon.
The new and improved Steam Controller has been well-received, boasting better design and functionality compared to its 2015 predecessor. It’s rechargeable, has more input options, and features the iconic touchpad controls. However, some users might find the £85 price tag a bit steep compared to traditional controllers.
Reservations kick off in the US and Canada next week, with other regions like the UK and Europe following soon. While you wait, check out our top Android app deals to keep your gaming experience fresh. Keep an eye out for your order email if you’ve already secured your spot!
