The Steam Controller’s reservation queue is open
The Verge • • technology
Key Points:
- Valve has introduced a reservation system for the Steam Controller after it quickly sold out on May 4th, allowing customers to secure a spot in line for future restocks.
- To reserve a controller, users must have a Steam account in good standing and have made a purchase before April 27th, 2023; reservations hold their place until stock is available.
- When a controller becomes available, customers receive an email with a 72-hour window to complete the purchase before the offer moves to the next person in the queue.
- Valve initially prepared significant supply for the launch but underestimated demand, leading to the quick sellout and the need for the reservation system.
- Additional resources, including a full review and a Q&A session, are available to help potential buyers decide if the Steam Controller suits their needs compared to competitors like the Sony DualSense.
