Valve opens Steam Controller reservations, but it's "limited to one" per person, so you better act fast

Valve has shifted Steam Controller sales to a logged-in reservation queue instead of direct purchase.

Buyers need an existing Steam account, are limited to one controller each, and must complete checkout within 72 hours of an invite email.

The first batch sold out quickly, so the system is meant to reduce scalping and better manage demand.

Stock will be replenished in staggered waves by region, which could hint at how Valve handles future hardware launches.
