- Brad Lynch found evidence of a "Steam Controller Unboxing" video on SteamDB, and shipping documents suggest Valve received large imports of the "Wireless PC Controller" in the USA around April 13.
- Komodo Station briefly published the controller assets this week before hastily removing them, which Lynch explained as a signal for Valve's upcoming hardware plans.
- Demand for the PC-hybrid Steam Machine remains high as players await pricing details, which could prove make-or-break for the device as answers emerge soon.
