Plans for a simultaneous trio of hardware launches seemingly dashed on the rocks of ongoing RAM shortages, Valve have decided to release the relatively unaffected Steam Controller refresh without Steam Machine or Steam Frame backup. It’s out soon, too: the release date is confirmed for Monday, May 4th, with pricing set at £85 / $99 / €99.
Expensive? Maybe a little. A good gamepad? Yes, so says I in our Steam Controller review, which has also been freed from its own embargo limbo.
It’s exciting to see Valve confirm the price and release date for the Steam Controller! It’s always interesting to watch how hardware launches evolve, even amidst challenges like RAM shortages. Looking forward to seeing how everything unfolds!
great to have clarity on new hardware. The Steam Controller’s unique design could really change the way we interact with games, especially for genres that benefit from precision controls. Hopefully, the Steam Machine will follow suit soon, as it has the potential to offer a compelling gaming experience as well.
