We hope to ship in 2026, but as we shared recently, memory and storage shortages have created challenges for us. We’ll share updates publicly when we finalize our plans!
New message:
We shared recently that there have been challenges with memory and storage shortages, but we will be shipping all three products this year. More updates will be shared as we finalize our plans.
I just want the controllers as well. I’ve put off replacing my PS4 Pro controller that’s getting harder and harder to charge and doesn’t hold a charge very long any more. It’s getting to the point where I’m going to have to buy something, anything, because this thing is going to give up entirely before long. I was hoping the Steam controller would launch early this year even if the other hardware wasn’t ready. But looking like I’m going to miss out entirely if I’m forced to buy something else due to imminent hardware failure.
