I really don’t need one but damn it’s giving me FOMO.
Don’t worry, I would wait until those who want it more get it first.
Makes me hopeful for getting a steam frame, now if only they’d say reserve queue priority would be influenced by when you wishlisted it…
As someone who spent a ton of money on Steam games over the years, I wish they’d sort by account value. This would also automatically deprioritize scalper bots, since those probable have a account value close to zero.
Sure, rich people get them first!
I mean, those are the most valuable customers to Valve, so … yes? Idk. You could go by account age instead if that makes it fairer somehow.
Additionally:
-
Your account must be in good standing on Steam
-
You must have made a purchase on Steam prior to April 27, 2026
I realize the purchase will not fix all scalping, but it will help with some.
Yeah, previous scalper accounts can just be reactivated. Also, what qualifies as purchase? Is adding a F2P game or a demo a purchase in this context?

I didn’t really want one but I didn’t get a Steam Deck and now they’re gone and I’m feeling big FOMO.
I did not want one at first. Then when Final Fantasy Tactics remake was announced I decided to grab one. I upgraded my storage as soon as I got it. Hopefully you are able to get one.
I hope they’ll do this for the Steam Deck as well while supplies are tight
Good, I’m glad they’re trying to make this easier on people. Shame there’s no mention of when a restock might actually happen though.
I’m hoping the amount of users crashes the reservation system. Sorry, I’m salty about not getting one.
