Give feedbackHow the tracker works
Reservation, invite, purchase, ship, delivery, and Valve-window dates are matched into the live queue and shipping views.
- Submit dates Share the official Valve window plus any reservation, invite, purchase, ship, or delivery dates you know.
- Match dates Queue timing compares reservation and invite progress; the Valve window adds pre-invite context.
- Stay anonymous Reports are stored as anonymous milestone dates, not accounts.
What does the Steam hardware tracker show?
The community tracker shows anonymous reports for Steam Controller official reservation windows, reservations, and invites, plus Steam hardware purchase, shipping, and delivery milestones. It is independent and not affiliated with Valve.
Is submitting a tracker report anonymous?
Yes. Reports store milestone dates, optional times, broad country or region, and an edit-token hash. Anonymous reports only; do not enter Steam account details, passwords, usernames, emails, order numbers, tracking numbers, addresses, ZIP codes, screenshots, or personal information.
How is queue movement estimated?
Queue timing uses reservation dates or times from reports that later received an invite or completed purchase. Valve's official reservation window is useful pre-invite context, but it does not replace reservation-plus-progress evidence for queue movement.
What does the Steam Machine lottery mean?
Valve's June 25, 2026 randomization decided who started in the Steam Machine reservation queue versus the waitlist. A reservation result means Valve says a Steam Machine is reserved in your name for the selected model or bundle; one reservation maps to one purchase opportunity for one unit when Valve reaches that spot and sends the 72-hour purchase email. A waitlist result means no unit has been reserved yet. Anyone who signs up after the cutoff is added to the back of the waitlist in signup order. The tracker records the lottery or waitlist cohort and later milestones, not Valve's private randomized line order.
Can I record Valve's official reservation window?
Yes. Steam Controller reservation reports can include the official Valve reservation window shown while signed in, plus when you saw it. That window is Valve's order-email estimate, not a shipping or delivery date.
When have Steam Controller order invites typically gone out?
Use the Invites edge to see community-reported invite activity by date, including the day of week, first invite seen, invite report count, and delivery count.
How do I get my reservation time?
A community walkthrough explains how to check the Steam Controller store page's GetHardwareItems network response for the reserved_at timestamp. Use only tools you trust, and do not share usernames, order numbers, account data, screenshots, or raw store responses with the tracker.
Can I update a report later?
Yes. After submitting, the site gives a private update link once. That link can refresh the official Valve reservation window or add later invite, purchase, shipping, or delivery milestones without exposing the edit token publicly.
Can Steam Deck OLED purchases be tracked without reservations?
Yes. Steam Deck OLED reports can track purchase, shipping, and delivery dates even when there is no reservation step.
