Rumor: Valve receives first shipments of the new Steam controller

Rumors indicate that Valve has received large shipments of the new wireless controller, with a possible release in 2026, according to Brad Lynch.

Updates on the alleged new Steam controller

A rumor suggests that Valve is expected to move forward with at least one hardware release in 2026.

Brad Lynch shared the news on Twitter, stating that it seems Valve received the first major shipment of the Wireless PC Controller last week, at least in the US.

In late 2024, in November, rumors circulated about a new Steam Controller that would incorporate the inputs of the Steam Deck.

As early as November 2025, Valve officially announced this new controller, accompanied by a new Steam Machine PC and the Steam Frame VR headset.

Among fans, there was apprehension about a possible delay of the Steam Machine following a statement from Valve. We will not question the company's capability, but there is a lot of analysis out there on the subject.

Valve has already added compatibility to Steam for the new controller, which suggests the path may be further along than other projects.

There is also speculation that the controller could be released before everything else.
