"Specific to the Steam Controller, thankfully, no. Thankfully, there's no RAM or storage inside of it. We saw on the internet, people were like, 'Oh, they're delaying Steam Controller so that it can ship with [Steam Machine and Steam Frame].' That's actually not the case."
"RAM and memory prices are a real challenge and a real bummer that the whole industry is dealing with. So we're just like everyone else. We're trying to figure out how to navigate it, and it's impacting our plans, but we're doing our best."
The RAM shortage, driven by AI hyperscalers and data centers, has led to increased prices and scarcity of PC parts. Valve's Steam Controller is unaffected by this shortage and is launching ahead of the Steam Machine. Designer Lawrence Yang confirmed that the controller's release was not delayed and is ready for launch. However, other hardware plans at Valve have been impacted by RAM shortages, which pose challenges for the industry as a whole. Valve is reevaluating the launch dates and pricing for its Steam Machine and Steam Frame VR headset.
