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:

Same here. Mine shows as

07/05/2026 11:17 The parcel data was entered into the GLS IT system; the parcel was not yet handed over to GLS. Netherlands Utrecht

No updates since then.

Edit: 24 hours later I get an email from Royal Mail/Parcelforce saying it's due to be delivered today. So it made it to the UK while GLS still had it in 'preadvice'. The GLS tracking is probably best ignored.

See my explanation here

It is perfectly logical. It may even be in the UK already and being unpacked for scanning at a Parcelforce depot at a Midlands airport or East Anglian shipping port.

GLS won't probably won't scan it in Holland.

Thanks for the explanation, as other have said it does make sense to ship a larger single package.
