Valve reintroduces Steam Controllers with a reservation system, similar to the Steam Deck's launch, to combat resale and ensure fair access. Reservations open May 8, with the US and Canada prioritized, followed by the UK, Europe, and Australia. This move aims to prevent the immediate sell-out and eBay resale seen in the first wave.
