TL;DR
- Valve just released a new version of its Steam Controller earlier this month.
- New owners are discovering that the controller lets out a scream when dropped from high enough.
- The scream is recognizable as the classic “Wilhelm scream” from movies and TV.
Video games are lousy with Easter eggs. From the early days of Adventure on the VCS (or Atari 2600 to most of you), game developers have been packing their releases with hidden secrets only accessible to gamers who have worked out (or, more likely, been told by their friends) the trick to unlocking them. We’ve even seen a few Easter eggs in video game controllers over the years, like the hidden message in the Switch Pro Controller, or the PS5’s DualSense textured finish being made up of microscopic triangles, circles, crosses, and squares. But now this latest one might just take the cake as the coolest we’ve seen yet.
