Hardware Easter Egg

Steam Controller’s Easter egg makes it scream when dropped, which is different from your scream when you can’t buy one

Valve's new Steam Controller features a hidden Easter egg that plays the Wilhelm Scream using its haptic motors when dropped while Steam is in Big Picture mode. The controller, which went on sale May 4, 2026, has experienced significant stock issues, leading Valve to implement a reservation queue system to manage demand and limit resellers.
