Valve is so behind on Steam Controller orders that some won’t ship until 2027
Valve 的 Steam Controller 订单积压严重，部分产品需等到 2027 年才能发货
Valve has some good news and bad news about Steam Controllers. The good news: if you make a reservation for a Steam Controller, the company will now show you one of three estimates of when you’ll be able to actually order your gamepad: by September 2026, by December 2026, or sometime in 2027. The bad news: any reservations made today “indicate a 2027 date for shipping,” Valve says.
关于 Steam Controller，Valve 带来了一些好消息和坏消息。好消息是：如果你现在预订 Steam Controller，公司会向你显示三个预计可下单的时间段之一：2026 年 9 月前、2026 年 12 月前，或 2027 年的某个时间。坏消息是：Valve 表示，今天进行的任何预订都“意味着发货日期要排到 2027 年”。
“We have no plans to stop making Steam Controller,” according to Valve. “But as we look at the current demand compared to how many we know we can make by the end of the year, we want to manage expectations as much as we can with regards to when folks can expect to receive their order.”
Valve 表示：“我们没有停止生产 Steam Controller 的计划。但考虑到当前的需求量与我们年底前预期的产能，我们希望尽可能地管理好用户对收货时间的预期。”
Valve’s very good new Steam Controller went on sale in early May, and the initial rush led some people to run into frustrating problems with trying to check out ahead of the controllers eventually going out of stock. A few days later, the company announced that it would be implementing a reservations queue for interested buyers so they could get on a waitlist. If you’re on the waitlist, when you get notified that a Steam Controller is ready for you to buy, you have 72 hours to actually make the order.
Valve 出色的新款 Steam Controller 于 5 月初开售，由于初期抢购热潮，一些用户在手柄售罄前遇到了结账困难的烦恼。几天后，该公司宣布将为感兴趣的买家实施预订队列，以便他们加入候补名单。如果你在候补名单中，当收到 Steam Controller 可供购买的通知时，你有 72 小时的时间完成下单。
“When we launched Steam Controller last month, we quickly saw that initial demand exceeded our expectations,” Valve says. “Switching to a reservation queue has (hopefully) cut down on the headaches on the customer side, and for us it’s also been helpful as we plan ahead and try to get as many out as quickly as we are able.”
Valve 表示：“上个月推出 Steam Controller 时，我们很快发现初期需求超出了预期。切换到预订队列（希望）减少了客户端的麻烦，对我们而言，这也便于我们提前规划，并尽可能快地交付更多产品。”
All three of Valve’s big hardware products were delayed from a planned early 2026 launch because of the component crisis, Valve still hasn’t announced when the Steam Machine PC or Steam Frame VR headset might go on sale. However, just yesterday, Valve officially launched its big SteamOS 3.8 update with support for the Steam Machine. It’s also been importing a lot of hardware into the US as of late.
由于零部件危机，Valve 的三款大型硬件产品都推迟了原定于 2026 年初的发布计划，Valve 至今尚未宣布 Steam Machine PC 或 Steam Frame VR 头显何时上市。不过，就在昨天，Valve 正式发布了支持 Steam Machine 的重大 SteamOS 3.8 更新。此外，该公司近期也一直在向美国进口大量硬件设备。
