New Steam Controller animations appear in the Steam Client update

The latest Steam Client update has added three new animations that show which buttons you will use with the Steam Controller during gameplay.

The animation images were found in the beta by Reddit user pepeizq and appear in the interface's video folder, called /steamui/movies, inside the Steam files.

Launch context

The original launch windows for the Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and Steam Frame were marked as 'Early 2026'. The text mentions that the Steam Controller might arrive before the summer, while the Steam Machine and Frame seem to be delayed due to RAM and SSD storage issues; however, these problems should not affect the Controller.

Impact and expectations

This addition suggests that the Steam Controller might be close to being launched, fueling expectations within the community.
