The Steam Controller leak we’ve all been waiting for
If you’ve been holding your breath for Valve’s new Steam Controller, it looks like you can finally exhale. A leaked early review has accidentally spilled the beans on much more than just the hardware—we finally have a price tag.
According to the leak, the controller is set to retail for $99. While that might not sound like pocket change, the reviewer pointed out it’s only about $25 more than a standard PS5 controller, making it a surprisingly accessible upgrade for PC enthusiasts.
Beyond the cost, the leak gives us a tasty preview of what makes this thing special:
- Trackpad Magic: The trackpads are reportedly so intuitive that they feel “totally natural” within minutes, allowing you to mimic a mouse cursor or scroll through menus with ease.
- Extra Buttons & Gyro: It features four back buttons (similar to the Steam Deck) and six-axis gyro support for immersive, motion-based gameplay.
Valve had previously pushed the release window back due to rising component costs, but this leak suggests we might not have to wait until late 2026 to get our hands on one. Grab your snacks; the Steam era might be arriving sooner than expected.
