How much does the Steam Controller cost?

Image 1 of 3 Valve's Steam Controller launched at $99 via Steam, and, so far, remains the same price. In the United Kingdom, that amounts to £85, including sales tax. At launch, the controller was available on a first-come, first-served basis until it sold out. Now, in May 2026, you'll need a Steam account to place a reservation before you have a chance to buy one. Delivery times vary by region and the time of the order. I placed my Steam Controller order in the UK on May 4, when it became available, and it arrived from its European shipping source in the Netherlands after 6 working days. Valv

Is the Steam Controller any good?

Image 1 of 2 My initial hands-on impressions of the Steam Controller were good, as it sits comfortably in my hands with a familiar weight of 0.64 lbs (292 g). I usually play with Microsoft's official Xbox controllers that were bundled with my Series X|S consoles, each weighing 0.63 lbs (287 g) with AA batteries or 0.52 lbs (240 g) without them if I'm using a permanently connected USB-C cable. Despite the placement of the prominent touchpads, my palms don't accidentally graze them when I use the analog sticks or face buttons. It's admittedly something I was concerned about when I first saw this

Does the Steam Controller have any issues?

The majority of the Steam Controller's genuine downsides are found in the software experience, rather than its hardware. Screw holes on the rear side are quite prevalent, and while they aren't usually visible, my middle fingers regularly brush against a pair mounted on its grips. I wouldn't describe it as uncomfortable, but it's a perceptible difference from my Xbox controller. For software, this controller relies heavily on the Steam app and Valve's "Steam Input" feature within, which handles button mapping for each of my games. If I stick to launching modern titles from my Steam library, the

What is REPLAY?

REPLAY is our new dedicated hub designed to highlight the moments that make gaming special. It’s not about being a pro-tier influencer or having the highest K/D ratio in the lobby. It’s about that one time your car in Forza Horizon 6 hit a physics glitch and launched into low-earth orbit. It’s about the "one-in-a-million" sniper shot you took while sneezing. It’s about the "how did I survive that?" clutches, and the "only in a video game" moments that make you laugh until your stomach hurts. If you’re playing on a PC, an Xbox, or a handheld (we see you, ROG Ally and Steam Deck users), we want
