Steam Controller Chaos: Orders Now Due 2027!
19 Jun
Summary
- New Steam Controller orders may not arrive until 2027.
- Existing orders face delivery deadlines in late 2026.
- Valve cites unexpectedly high demand for the delays.
The highly anticipated Steam Controller is facing significant supply constraints, effectively selling out since its launch. Valve has announced that new orders for the gamepad are unlikely to be fulfilled until 2027, a stark contrast to initial expectations.
Customers who have already secured a Steam Controller can anticipate deliveries throughout late 2026, with some facing deadlines in September and December of that year. Valve acknowledges that demand has "exceeded expectations," contributing to the prolonged delays.
This production bottleneck is occurring while Valve also aims to release its Steam Machine and Steam Frame headset this summer. The company is working to manage expectations regarding the gamepad's availability while striving to increase production output.
