On the tenth anniversary of the now-discontinued Steam Controller's initial release, rumors that Valve will be announcing an updated version are cropping up once again, and a reliable insider source has reportedly obtained information regarding the design of the updated peripheral. The source also claims that Valve will reveal the new Steam Controller to the public soon, although a specific date was not provided.

2025 has seen several rumors regarding physical Steam-adjacent products. Valve is also theorized to be announcing a wireless VR gaming headset in the near future, which may be called the "Steam Frame." Now, it seems that the updated Steam Controller, drawing inspiration from the design of the popular Steam Deck, could be announced at the same time.

Valve insider Brad Lynch, who first teased a new Steam Controller in 2024, has now revealed information about the controller's design on Twitter. Lynch clarified that the image shared on the platform is not a picture of the controller, but an AI-generated approximation based on a prototype he has personally seen. The image shows a large, chunky controller with two joysticks, a Steam button in the center, and double trackpads that clearly show its Steam Deck inspiration.
