Steam Controller Leaks: $99 Price Tag Rumored
26 Apr
Summary
- A potential Steam Controller price leak suggests a $99 launch cost.
- Valve recently uploaded a private 'Steam Controller Unboxing' video.
- The unboxing video upload hints at an imminent official reveal from Valve.
Reports circulating online suggest Valve's upcoming Steam Controller may carry a launch price of $99. This potential cost, leaked from a review video, would position it similarly to new Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and at a premium compared to the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller. While this price point is unconfirmed and derived from a less-known source, it has sparked discussion among users awaiting the peripheral's release.
Further indications of an imminent launch include the recent discovery of a private 'Steam Controller Unboxing' video uploaded by Valve, noted by industry insider Brad Lynch. The existence of this video, even if unwatchable, suggests Valve is preparing for an official announcement soon. This follows earlier uploads of Steam hardware assets by Komodo Station, the Japanese storefront for Steam hardware, all pointing towards an impending release of the new device. Precise specifications, release date, and final pricing remain subjects of anticipation.
