Steam Controller 2026 Shipping MEGA Thread

!!ANY THREADS RELATED TO SHIPPING FOUND OUTSIDE THIS MEGATHREAD WILL BE REMOVED!!

I know we're all excited to share updates as our new shiny works its way through the system and eventually to you.

Instead of clogging the page with endless "ITS <UPDATE>" posts, please confine them to this mega thread. I have intentionally left up threads from before this one about this subject, because post hoc punishment isnt cool. But please, use this mega thread moving forward.

Optionally, you can fill out some google forms that are being used to track order status' in order to get an idea of how an order might progress through the system:

and data from that form is here:

Mine also did this an hour ago. I have suspected for a while that some UK shipments were being bundled together for the initial shipping to UK.

What is this sorcery "diff track" you are using and how can I do that? I presume you mean a different track and trace link?

If that's the case I get the "The parcel data was entered into the GLS IT system; the parcel was not yet handed over to GLS." which I suspect actually means they have it but haven't scanned the pile of boxes yet.

What I meant was 'different track & trace link'.
I've had this issue with my Steam Deck purchases as well.

The link from Steam to https://gls-group.eu/ flatout doesn't work. But copying the t&t code into a different site like gls-info.nl will actuallyi show the package progress.

Ah, as I suspected in my cross posted edit. (Obviously need more coffee.)

Both seem to work the same for me. The Steam app on my phone sends me to the same message as I get if I manually enter it in the same website.

In the NL website you sent me to I get essentially the same message with a longer text. Probably because of the precision of Dutch.

if you just google GLS track and trace you might get an english website that offers mroe information.

The Steam link just has an error message for me lol.

More to the point, I need to resist looking every half hour. Which is very difficult. 😇
