● Sold Out Instantly! The 'Steam Controller' That Everyone Wants'

The 'Steam Controller' unveiled last year caught the eyes of gamers worldwide with its unique layout. Its dual trackpads made it look almost like a Steam Deck without the screen. Gamers had mixed feelings of anticipation and concern for a simple reason: it brought to mind the original 'Steam Controller' from 2015, which Valve had launched with great ambition but which ultimately failed to gain much traction. Having already seen one attempt fall short, the question on everyone's mind was whether this time would be different.

Everything about the 'Steam Controller' was revealed through numerous domestic and international gaming media outlets on April 28. The reviews that dropped simultaneously were nothing short of 'perfect.' Unlike the 'Steam Controller (2015),' which was something of an experiment, the new 'Steam Controller' proved to be a fully realized, perfect game pad. Critics noted that it not only perfectly replaces existing game pads but also takes the best of both worlds by allowing mouse control via the trackpads.

Once this information was released, gamers scrambled to get their hands on the 'Steam Controller.' However, it seems Valve underestimated the demand. Despite a somewhat high price tag of ₩168,000, explosive demand led to a global sell-out on the day of its official release, May 5. Its popularity is such that it is now being sold at a premium on secondary market sites.

The 'Steam Controller' is so hot that it's impossible to find in stock. Valve has announced plans to ramp up supply quickly. They also stated that the second wave of sales, scheduled for the 8th (North American time), will be reservation-based to prevent scalping and reselling, so if you haven't secured one yet, keep an eye out for the next drop.

Topping the Steam trending list this week is 'Gamble With Your Friends''which officially launched on May 2. It is a 1-6 player cooperative online casino game where you share a single bank account and a massive debt. To survive, players must earn the target amount of money within a 5-minute time limit. You are free to use any method—from playing by the rules to colluding, cheating, or even just smashing things with a sledgehammer. The only rule is that you must make money, no matter what.

'Far Ever'is also drawing significant attention. It is an open-world online multiplayer action RPG that is gaining word-of-mouth popularity among gamers who have been waiting for a new online title, even in Early Access. While reviews are generally positive, there are some complaints about the lack of content and frequent server issues, as is typical for Early Access titles.

'Conan Exiles''returned on the 6th as 'Conan Exiles Enhanced'The biggest feature of this 'Enhanced' update, arriving eight years after the official launch, is its evolution to Unreal Engine 5. It’s essentially a complete overhaul, from improved environments, character modeling, and lighting effects to UI and optimization. The fact that it's free has proven the update a success, with concurrent player counts jumping from a peak of around 4k to over 50k.

'Lethal Company'recorded the highest concurrent player count on this week's Steam trending list. The reason is the recent v0.4.0 update, which finally officially added cosmetic items to 'Lethal Company'What was previously only possible through mods is now officially supported, with over 500 cosmetic items added. The game has seen a surge in activity as players return to collect these new items.

'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End'and its spin-off 'Uncharted: The Lost Legacy'are currently on sale as a bundle 'Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection'While it's a bit of a shame that the original trilogy (1-3) was only released on PlayStation consoles and isn't playable on PC, the fact that this is the lowest price ever makes it a deal worth considering.
