when do steam machine emails go out

Steam Machine reservation emails appear to be going out now, starting on June 25–26, 2026, according to multiple reports. Valve is using a reservation / randomized purchase queue system, so the timing may vary by account and region, and some people may not get one right away.

What to expect

• Emails are being sent to people who registered for the reservation process.

• The rollout seems to be staggered, not a single universal send time.

• The launch is described as imminent, with shipping reported for June 29, 2026.

Practical takeaway

Check the email tied to your Steam account, including spam and promotions folders, because the message may already be there or arrive in a later wave. If you want, I can also summarize how Valve’s reservation queue works and what the email is supposed to look like.
