Steam Controller Sells Out on Launch Day, And the eBay Scalpers Are Already Circling | The Outerhaven

The Steam Controller went on sale on May 4th, 2026, and sold out faster than most people anticipated, and that’s saying something, because expectations were already high. I won’t sugarcoat it: attempting to buy the controller was not a smooth experience. In an attempt to streamline checkout, I preloaded my Steam Wallet rather than using a credit card. My logic was simple: if you’re buying directly from Valve, using Valve’s own payment system should make things easier. It certainly did not. Despi...

Valve Says More Steam Controllers Are Coming, But Scalpers Are Still The Problem | The Outerhaven

Valve has taken to social media to address the situation, confirming that the Steam Controller sold out far faster than it expected. That is usually a good problem to have, but it also highlights something Valve clearly underestimated: scalpers. The company says it is already working to get more controllers back in stock so those who missed out will have another chance. That is great news, but there is still no word on when that restock will happen. You can check out Valve’s full statement here:...

From Gaming Consoles to Laptops, Street Paint Artists Turn Tech Into Works of Art | The Outerhaven

Every so often, I find myself randomly browsing the internet. Sometimes it is for work, sometimes it is because I am bored, and sometimes it is because I just end up clicking on something that catches my eye. That is exactly what happened when I stumbled across a video of a street paint artist being handed a brand-new Xbox Series X and asked to give it a custom look. At first, I had no idea what to expect. I mean, who just hands someone an Xbox Series X and says, “go ahead, paint this thing?” Bu...

The Blood of Dawnwalker PC Requirements Revealed | The Outerhaven

Developer Rebel Wolves has revealed the official PC requirements for The Blood of Dawnwalker, and the specs are a bit of a mixed bag, if I’m being honest. At the lower end of things, the requirements aren’t too unreasonable for a modern open-world RPG, with the minimum target aiming for native 1080p at 30 FPS on Low settings. However, things climb quickly once you move into High and Ultra territory. Native 1440p/60 FPS on Ultra calls for an RTX 4080 or AMD RX 7900 XTX, while native 4K/60 FPS on...

Then, suddenly a door that heads to an outside location opens up, making way to a phone used for emer...
