The change covers customers already in the queue and new sign-ups; new registrants are placed at the back of the queue with an estimated 2027 purchase date.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valve posted that &#8220;initial demand exceeded our expectations&#8221; and said it added the schedule to manage customer expectations. The company wrote, &#8220;We have no plans to stop making Steam Controller,&#8221; and said it must match demand with how many units it can produce by the end of the year.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers who log in to Steam and visit the Steam Controller page will see one of three windows tied to their reservation date. The reservation system requires a Steam account that has been active for at least three months. When an order window opens, buyers have 72 hours to complete the purchase before losing their place in line.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valve has not provided a specific unit count or detailed changes to production capacity linked to the new schedule. The company has not confirmed whether the Steam Frame and Steam Machine launches will use a similar reservation-and-window system; both products are expected to ship this summer.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interest in the controller increased after Valve revived the product, with attention in part focused on its trackpad design. Valve said early demand created a backlog that led to the introduction of estimated order windows to give buyers clearer timing for when they might receive an order email.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers can check their reservation status by signing into Steam and visiting the Steam Controller product page.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valve set estimated Steam Controller order windows starting September 2026;
