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.
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.
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.
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

I had signed up for all 4. Probably did it within 30 minutes of the system going live (I know that wouldn't change anything)
I got my email and almost noon CDT saying I'm in queue for 512 w/ controller. Thats the one that I was wanting, but I did want the wood faceplate... I'll probably make my own. Just hope I'm not too many waves away.
Only applied for the 2tb with controller version and got the email that I'll be allowed to buy it. Not 100% sure if I take that chance but it's more likely than not.
I'd signed up for both 2tb options and the 512 with controller, managed to get on the reservation queue for the 2tb!

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

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
