Valve has opened a reservation queue for its popular Steam Controller, just days after the initial batch sold out on May 4th. The company is now directing eager buyers to a dedicated page on Steam where they can secure their place in line for future restocks, rather than competing with bots or scalpers.
To reserve a controller, your Steam account must be in good standing and have made at least one purchase prior to April 27th of this year. Once you join the queue, you will receive an email notification when a unit becomes available. From that point, you have a 72-hour window to complete your purchase before the offer expires. The controller is priced at $99.
This system is designed to reduce the frustration of chasing limited inventory. While it does not guarantee an immediate shipment, it provides a structured and fair way to secure a device without the usual chaos of a flash sale.
