Valve's newly released Steam Controller sold out in just 30 minutes, causing Steam server issues from the demand surge. Resellers immediately listed units on eBay at up to four times the retail price.

Valve will start selling the new Steam Controller on May 4, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. PT for $99 in the US. The pad adds dual trackpads, TMR magnetic thumbsticks, four rear grip buttons, Grip Sense gyro aiming, and a magnetic wireless charging puck.
