Just hours ago Valve announced the new Steam Controller along with the Steam Frame VR headset and new Steam Machine. While these new Steam hardware products won’t be available until early 2026, Valve has just-now upstreamed support for the new Steam Controller to the SDL3 library.
The Simple DirectMedia Library (SDL) is important to Valve’s Steam runtime and used by many games for cross-platform hardware/software abstractions. In ensuring good support ahead of the new Steam Controller’s retail availability and seeing that it makes it into the next SDL3 update, today that new Steam Controller support is already upstreamed to SDL Git.
damn there I am simping for a company again. Promised myself it wouldn’t happen after Sega
We should acknowledge the good, just as we should call out the bad. It’s not really simping if you point out the good Valve is doing.
probably should wait and see what the prices are before people start falling to their knees with mouths wide open.
Yup that controller is mine. Gimme gimme
Valve promises greatness, but fucking DELIVERS
I guess with the steamdeck’s touchpads in mind this design makes sense, but damn does that thing look bulky lol. Maybe it feels more comfortable to hold than it looks.
Hopefully SDL2 will also get good support. It’s still quite common.
