Gaming accessory maker Hori has revealed an officially licensed Steam controller set to ship in Japan on October 31. Thus far, only Hori’s Japanese website and social.
Something to look forward to: Hori is known for its high-quality console gamepads and has released PC controllers before, but working directly with Valve on an officially licensed pad is somewhat unexpected. Furthermore, this is the first controller Valve has licensed since discontinuing its Steam controller almost five years ago. However, Hori has only confirmed a Japanese release so far.
Gaming accessory maker Hori has revealed an officially licensed Steam controller set to ship in Japan on October 31. Thus far, only Hori’s Japanese website and social channels mention the pad, but it would be odd for the peripheral to remain a Japan-exclusive.
Similar to newer controllers from other manufacturers, including Microsoft’s and Sony’s high-end models, Hori’s offering will include four extra programmable inputs – two small buttons beneath the D-pad and right analog stick, and two backside pedals.
