Alert: Steam Controller may arrive before other Valve hardware

Distributor Komodo Station has activated the Steam Controller page, signaling an upcoming release; rumors point to priority over Steam Machine and Steam Frame.

The launch of Steam-branded hardware seems increasingly imminent, with a focus on the second generation of the Steam Controller.

Distributor activates Steam Controller page

Komodo Station, Valve's official distributor in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, has updated its website and made the Steam Controller page visible, suggesting that the product may arrive soon.

There are indications that the controller may arrive before other devices, such as the Steam Machine and Steam Frame, mainly because recent clues have focused on the new gamepad. This week, an unboxing video of the controller (currently unavailable) appeared in Steam data, fueling speculation.

Clues and context of the leak

As reported by @gabefollower on X, the Steam Controller page was published by Komodo Station. The attribution of the leak goes to @kuromi_goth, who claims that Valve will sell the Steam Controller before the other hardware, possibly due to memory and storage bottlenecks affecting the release of the Steam Machine and Steam Frame.

Images of the page were recorded, but the content was eventually taken down. What remains is a short page that redirects to the main Steam hardware page, with similar templates already created for the other two announced items.

Historical context of Komodo Station

Komodo Station has previously proven to be a relevant source before Valve announcements. The store rebranded in the past, changing the label from Komodo Steam Deck Store to Komodo Station, signaling an expansion of its portfolio. If this pattern repeats, an update from Valve could arrive in a matter of hours.
