Steam Controller leaked review points to $99 MSRP — more expensive than PS5 and Xbox controllers and Nintendo Joy-Cons

An embargoed review was accidentally posted early, revealing Valve’s new Steam Controller will cost $99.

The leak came from a hardware reviewer’s YouTube video, which was removed after the price was spotted.

At $99 MSRP, the controller is priced as a premium accessory rather than a budget gamepad.

The pricing may affect how consumers view Valve’s broader hardware lineup, including the Steam Machine.
