Steam controller priced at $99, launches may 4

Valve has finally confirmed the launch date and price for the Steam Controller, its innovative new PC gaming peripheral. The Steam Controller will arrive on May 4, priced at $99 in the US and varying amounts in other regions due to distribution costs and import duties.

Steam machine update expected soon

While the Steam Controller now has a firm release date, Valve remains tight-lipped about the Steam Machine, a mid-level gaming PC that was announced alongside the controller last year. In an interview with IGN, Valve programmer Pierre-Loup Griffais hinted that Steam Machine news is imminent, but didn't provide a specific timeline.

Griffais emphasized that the Steam Machine is not just a controller accessory, but a standalone gaming device.
