Valve Launches Steam Controller on May 4 for $99, Ahead of Delayed Steam Machine

Valve has announced the Steam Controller will launch on May 4 via Steam at 10:00 a.m. PT for $99 / £85 / €99, decoupling it from the still-delayed Steam Machine. Valve confirmed to Kotaku that the controller is unaffected by the RAM shortages holding back the Steam Machine, and with no reason to delay further, they chose to ship it immediately and independently.

  • Valve told Kotaku it had no plans to delay the Steam Controller. While the Steam Machine is affected by RAM shortages, the controller isn't, and it's ready to ship now. So Valve is launching in May for $100 ahead of the Steam Machine. kotaku.com/valve-say
