The Steam Controller sold out super quickly and Valve is working on a restock
التسلسل الزمني كالتالي: في 27 أبريل، نُشرت مراجعات لجهاز التحكم Steam Controller، وهذه مراجعتنا. في اليوم نفسه، كشفت Valve عن سعر الجهاز (99 دولارًا) وتاريخ توفره (4 مايو). بعد أسبوع من النقاش حول سعر الجهاز، نفدت الكمية المتاحة من Steam Controller رسميًا بحلول صباح 5 مايو.
وهذا يقودنا إلى الوقت الحاضر. حوالي الساعة 12:00 بتوقيت شرق الولايات المتحدة اليوم، غردت Valve قائلة: "نفدت كمية Steam Controller أسرع مما توقعنا، ونأسف لعدم تمكن جميع الراغبين في الحصول عليه من شرائه. نحن نحاول توفير المزيد، وسنوافيكم بتحديث حول الموعد المتوقع قريبًا." في هذه الأثناء، لاحظ بعض العملاء زيادة طفيفة في مواعيد الشحن المتوقعة.
إضافةً إلى محاولاتها (ظاهريًا) لإطلاق جهاز Steam Machine ونظارة الواقع الافتراضي Steam Frame، تعمل شركة Valve على إصدار وحدة تحكم Steam Controller في الموعد المحدد وتحديد كيفية تجديد مخزونها. ولإنشاء بيئة ألعاب متكاملة تجمع بين اللعب على الأريكة والكمبيوتر الشخصي، كانت الشركة تعتزم في الأصل تسليم وحدة تحكم Steam Controller وجهاز Steam Machine ونظارة Steam Frame في أوائل عام 2026. إلا أنه بحلول الشهر الخامس من العام، لم تُطرح وحدة تحكم Steam Controller إلا مؤخرًا. وقد مهدت Valve الطريق لتأجيل إطلاق أجهزتها بالكامل حتى عام 2026 في مارس الماضي.
تسببت النقص المستمر في ذاكرة الوصول العشوائي في حالة من الفوضى في قطاع الحواسيب، وأدى إلى تأخير إطلاق جهازي Steam Machine وSteam Frame. لكن ثمة بصيص أمل. فبحسب براد لينش، أحد مراقبي شركة Valve، والذي أكده موقع The Verge، استوردت الشركة ما يقارب 50 طنًا من "أجهزة ألعاب الفيديو" إلى مراكز توزيعها في الولايات المتحدة بين 30 أبريل و1 مايو، وهو عدد يفوق طلبات إعادة تعبئة أجهزة Steam Deck الأخيرة. ورغم أن Valve لم تُصدر أي رد حتى الآن، إلا أن هناك شائعات تُشير إلى أنها قد تكون أجهزة Steam Machine أو Steam Frame. وكما هو معتاد، فإن التفاؤل على المحك، فشركة Valve لها تاريخ طويل في إلهام اللاعبين قبل أن تُخيب آمالهم تمامًا.
There's already a way to mount your smartphone to a Steam Controller
The first Steam Controller attachment is currently available from Mechanism, the company behind a "gaming pillow" for the Steam Deck and an expanding line of grips for PCs and portable consoles. On May 4, Valve's new controller will go on sale. On the same day, Mechanism will begin offering the Basegrip for Steam Controller, an add-on that allows you to connect the controller to a smartphone, along with a number of other mounts that the firm currently offers.
The Steam Controller's Basegrip is designed to fit comfortably over the back of the device while maintaining space for the magnetic charging puck to be attached. Additionally, you could connect the Steam Controller to many of Mechanism's current mounts, such as a phone mount that allows you to magnetically attach a smartphone to the top of the controller, because the majority of the company's accessories are made to operate together when the Basegrip is mounted. You could hypothetically create a small portable gaming system by combining a phone and controller.
Or, well, you might one day. Mechanism observes that "the controller doesn't work across all of iOS or Android yet." Valve has made it quite evident that the Steam Controller is solely intended to function with Steam and the Steam Link app. You may stream your PC games using your smartphone, Steam Controller, and the Steam Link app, but you might find it difficult to play more. Although it may make using the Steam Controller with a smartphone somewhat less practical at the moment, future software upgrades may improve support.
However, that shouldn't take away from the various accessories Mechanism provides, especially its upcoming Steam Controller Dock, which will proudly show the controller while not in use and include a charging puck to keep it charged.
According to Mechanism, the Basegrip for Steam Controller will retail for $9 on May 4 or less when combined with other accessories. Although the Steam Controller Dock's exact price is still unknown, Mechanism reports that it will ship in June and that you can sign up for a waitlist to purchase it right now.
New PS5 update makes it easier to join multiplayer games
It should now be easier for anyone with a PlayStation 5 to connect with other players. A system software update from Sony has officially been released, enabling you to make shareable links that invite people to play multiplayer games. The functionality was initially revealed by the corporation in early May.
The way the new PS5 update operates is by giving you an app link that you can share with anybody, even if you're not pals on the PlayStation Network. The link is accompanied by a QR code, but Sony cautions that in order for the new feature to function, you may need to upgrade some of your games. One of the best things about this tool is that, as long as you're still playing, the invite link will still drop the recipient into your game ten or thirty minutes after it is delivered. A widget indicating whether players are still playing or have stopped should show up when you send the link on Discord.
Another update that comes with the new share method allows you to use Voice Command to open Game Help action cards. Simply say "Show Game Help," and it should appear. However, players with PlayStation Network accounts in the US and the UK can only access Voice Command (Preview) in English at this time.
