Man that's rougher than I expected. 0/3, either we got really unlucky or supply vs. demand is way out of whack :(
Edit: Here's a website that's giving some rough estimates! https://steamframeout.com/
Edit 2: And this one: https://steamhardware.io/tracker/steam-frame/
I'm so happy for everyone else in these comments saying they got on the reservation list.
That's definitely some rough luck. Hopefully you're on the next round!
I was lucky enough to make it on the 1TB reservation queue in the US!
I also managed to make the reservation list! In the US.
I'm amazed, I literally never win anything. I very much expected to be on the wait-list.
I got lucky and got in the queue.
That's awesome! So jealous though
Same, had a couple of friends join the list and myself and one friend got lucky. Wish it were cheaper, but I'm excited.
I got into the reservation Queue, US
Wait, there's another queue?
Yeah there's a reservation queue (you'll get it soon) and a waitlist (not so soon).
Meanwhile I’m still waiting for my Steam Machine reservation 😭
That reminded me to check my email and I’m in queue for the 1Tb. I think this might rate my first woot in over a decade.
Woot!
Woot!
Yeah me too.
Yup, waitlist. Very sad. At least we can share in the sadness together.
I also landed on the waitlist. Sad :(
256GB, Germany
I got lucky and got onto the reservation list for a 1TB model!
(Germany)
256,EU
also waitlist 😭
Damn, that email meant I missed the draw?
I’ve missed every steam lottery draw and this one sucks the most. 50% odds, too, apparently.
I actually got in the queue but I probably can't afford the damn thing right now, I was being a bit optimistic when I signed up lmfao
What does it mean if I received nothing?
The emails are sent out in batches (according to someone in this thread, it does make sense though). It means the email batch you're in wasn't sent yet, so you still have to wait for the email. I also haven't gotten an email yet.
Valve didn't want my money too.
They took someone else instead.
I am disappointed and shocked that Gabe chose someone else!
Waitlist also, western NA region, 1TB model. Damn.
What are y'alls thoughts for when the next wave for reservations may go out? What were Machine/Controller waitlists like? This is my first foray into Steam lotteries.
As someone who is still in the waitlist for the Steam Machine, and Steam Controller...
For some, they still weren't like... they just are...
Four friends entered, 2 got it. I was expecting worse ratio.
Waitlist (ಥ﹏ಥ) 1TB, EU
I was literally sitting at a table with my only other friend who ordered one when the mail got sent, she got in and I didn't.
Salty, to say the least.
Just checked my email after waking to read this and, yep, wait list. 256GB in Aus. I'm kind of surprised by the demand, honestly. I thought VR was a bit of a dying fad and more of a niche thing.
Huh, damn. Me and a friend in AU both got into the reservation queue for the 256 model
Same here, EU and 256GB version. Have not seen anyone anywhere saying they won the lottery yet.
I did, I think. My email says I'm in the queue instead of on the waitlist.
Yeah the wait-list email is very clear that you will be waiting. The reservation email didn't explain things very clearly, so when I got it, I wasn't immediately excited. I was worried I was misreading it, so I went to steam but their verbage has been removed from the page. So I ended up having to Google around to confirm that I should be excited.

Same here, but after I saw some of the email screenshots here showing what the waitlist message looked like, then I realized I had been lucky.
I won the lottery for the 256GB variant in the US, for what it's worth. Otherwise, based on the community tracker, it's about a 2:3 ratio of reservations to waitlists so far?
I'm also on the waitlist :(
I own three Steam Decks and my account was made when Half Life 2 released. I have been "past" the wait-list on both the Machine and the Frame.
Like, oh well, but still.
Don’t want to give anyone false hope, but I got a Steam Machine reservation email about a month after ending up on the waitlist (I’m sadly in the US).
I fully expected to be waiting till spring. Got reservation, to my surprise. I've got 1500€ set aside for it since January.
1TB, EU
Managed to get on the reservation queue for the 256GB in Canada.
I think Valve used up all of my luck for the foreseeable future, I somehow managed to get a controller at launch, a Machine within a few weeks of launch, and now the Frame.
Still haven't 100% decided if I'll keep my slot, but chances are pretty good I will given I've been looking to upgrade from the Rift S for a long time.
