Following a delay earlier this year, players will be able to order a Steam Controller starting on May 4. That means that it will get into players hands before the Steam Machine or the Steam Frame, two devices that were announced alongside that. In an interview with Polygon, Valve hardware engineer Steve Cardinali explained why the team decided to pull the trigger on the Steam Controller apart from the other hardware. It all comes down to RAM.

It’s exciting to see the Steam Controller becoming available! It’s always interesting to see how new technologies evolve, and I’m looking forward to what Valve has in store for gamers.
