Steam Controller release date revealed as Steam Machine price increases

Valve has announced the release date for the Steam Controller as May 4th, priced at £85, and confirmed that the Steam Machine's release has been impacted by memory shortages, shifting its window to the first half of 2026. Hardware engineer Steve Cardinali explained that the controller's release was prioritized over the Steam Machine due to development unaffected by shortages. Pricing for the Steam Machine and Steam Frame remains unconfirmed, though they are expected to be more expensive than initially planned.
