Rumors Suggest Valve's Steam Controller 2 and New VR Controllers Nearing Mass Production

Valve has not confirmed the reports, but leaks and datamining indicate advanced development of the Steam Controller 2 and 'Roy' VR controllers for a potential new headset.

  • Valve insider Brad Lynch claims the Steam Controller 2, codenamed 'Ibex,' is being prepared for mass production, though no official announcement has been made.
  • The new controller is rumored to feature symmetrical sticks and input designs inspired by the Steam Deck, but exact specifications remain unclear.
  • Lynch also reports that 'Roy,' a motion controller for Valve's rumored standalone 'Deckard' VR headset, is in development with a focus on versatility for both VR and traditional gaming.
  • The 'Roy' controller is said to include a D-pad, bumpers, grip buttons, triggers, ABXY buttons, and a system button, potentially allowing it to function independently of the headset.
  • Valve has not confirmed the existence of the Steam Controller 2, 'Deckard,' or 'Roy,' maintaining its usual silence until products are closer to completion.
