Got my mail:

You're officially in the reservation queue for Steam Machine 512GB with Controller

When your Steam Machine 512GB with Controller becomes available, we will send you a separate email with the option to purchase. You'll then have 3 days to complete the purchase before we cancel your reservation and move on to the next person in the queue.

This is the only email you will receive about the results of the randomization. If you ended up with a reservation queue spot for more than one model, you were allocated a reservation for the highest end model, and were removed from all the others.

Weird to congratulate someone for randomly earning the right to buy a product...

But, ya know, congrats.

The times we live in...

Just got my email. I'm on the waitlist, no date given.

Glad I got a BC250 to fiddle with. I know it's not the same, but it still scratches an itch. Kinda worried that the Machine price may still go up in future production runs.

Including myself, I haven't heard of anyone yet that did get on the list. It's crazy that they more than sold out of what they have.

Just checked reddit though and some people are reporting they got on the queue, but no date is provided

Full email:

You are on the waitlist for Steam Machine 512GB

When we did the one-time randomization of the list, your place in line ended up beyond the number of units we'll have in this production run.

As we work our way through the reservation queue, some customers may cancel their reservations. If that happens, you may be moved into the reservation queue, and you'll be notified via email that you have a reservation after all.

This is the only email you will receive about the results of the randomization. If you ended up with a waitlist spot for one or more models, you'll be placed on the waitlist for the model that you were closest to the front of.

Me, still waiting for the update for the controller:
You guys are getting emails?!

[–] uuj8za@piefed.social 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Don't they list your queue status here?

Mine says I won't be able to place an order until 2027.....

[–] ctry21@sh.itjust.works 13 points 22 hours ago

Not yet, but the steam hardware page has just been updated to say the emails will go out "within a day" so hopefully it won't be much of a wait

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

If selected, you will be notified via email using the email address associated with your qualifying Steam account on or about June 25, 2026 that you have been added to the reservation queue

Purchase links go out monday
