New Steam Controller divides gamers ahead of May launch
gamingApr 28, 202648184
Valve priced its next-generation Steam Controller at £85/$99 and set its release for May 4. The controller works with Windows and Mac PCs, Valve’s Steam Deck, Valve’s handheld console, and the upcoming Valve gaming PC. Early reviews praise improved responsiveness and button layout, while some critics question the £85 price given relatively modest new features. Valve says Steam Deck 2 is still in development and that RAM and storage shortages limit production, saying "There’s only so much we can do," which makes the controller’s timing important for Valve’s broader hardware strategy.
