Steam Controller sales surpass 500k

Valve has announced that over half a million Steam Controllers have been sold. The company has been working to bring new features for the controller peripheral.

Developers are now fine-tuning their games to work great with the Steam Controller at launch. Recent examples include DOOM, XCOM 2 and Dark Souls III, and more are coming soon. Users can now configure and use the controller from your desktop, including the pop-up keyboard to communicate with your non-Steam programs.

Recently added is full Steam Controller support in VR Game Theater mode, including using the motion controls as a virtual steering wheel. Users can create templates from favorite settings and apply them across all games.

In the future, owners will be able to use Activators to assign actions to press-and-hold, double click, toggle and more. For example, in DOOM you can cycle through all weapons by pressing a button or double tap it to bring up the BFG.

The Steam Controller is a game controller developed by Valve Corporation. The controller is designed not only for games developed for controller users, but also for games traditionally played with keyboard and mouse controls so that they can be played through the controller. It was released back in November 2015.
