Steam Controller Reservations Finally Rolling Out – Check Your Inbox!

The buzz around the Steam Controller is real, and while everyone’s itching to get their hands on this piece of gaming tech, actually securing one has proven to be a challenge. Before its release, Valve promised it would swiftly get these controllers into players’ hands, but they sold out faster than you can say “game on,” leaving many gamers waiting eagerly for a restock.

Well, it seems Valve might finally be delivering on that promise! Gamers are taking to social media with some exciting news—reservation emails are starting to hit their inboxes. One Reddit user, known as SideOfBurgers, shared the thrilling moment with a screenshot of an email from Valve, indicating they have until May 18 to complete their purchase or risk losing their reservation. Talk about pressure!

If you’ve reserved a Steam Controller, it’s time to check your email and see if you’re one of the lucky ones. If you haven’t made a reservation yet, then you’ll need to jump in the queue; it’s a first-come, first-served situation, but reports from players suggest there might be a bit of chaos in how those emails are being sent out.

One user recounted their experience, saying, “I reserved my controller right as the clock struck 9:58 to 9:59.” But then, confusion ensued as others who had ordered just seconds before them hadn’t received any emails. “I reserved right at May 8, 9:59 a.m. PST and did not get the email,” replied another disappointed gamer.

It’s clear that there are some quirks at play, whether it’s inbox filters, shipping issues, or perhaps even some hiccups on Valve’s side. So while it’s not guaranteed that you’ll find an exciting message waiting for you, it’s definitely worth a peek in your inbox. Remember, if you do snag a reservation, you’ll need to act quickly to secure your controller!
