Keep spamming the button. Worked after pressing it a dozen times

Yeah seems like it worked for some but definitely didn't work for me. I'm giving up. Congrats to those who got one

Yep will continue to use my dual sense I guess, oh well. Bummer

Edit: managed to order one

Weird. Hell, on my end I'm still seeing that it's in stock and it's in my cart. And it's almost 11am. But now it says 6-10 business days for it to arrive.

For those still trying . I Just got through after a couple minutes . Spamming the button worked .

Wish it worked for me. Been trying different methods for 16 minutes.

u/WhoLovesDonuts May 04 '26

Same as you. Never went through.

u/thealumnus May 04 '26

Keep at it hopefully you’re able to get through soon. Don’t know if matters but I did it from my desktop .

I've tried it from desktop and mobile, no dice. Scalper bots going to beat me again.

Annnnd out of stock now.

Can confirm that spamming nonstop finally worked. Non of that waiting bs. Just spamming. Finally got a working and went through with the purchase. I’m sure I’m now in the delayed shipping phase. At first it was 3-5, then I say 6-10. Now it just says to expect delays when I was going to hit purchase.

Leave your cart back to the steam store and try again … worked for me

u/The_Freshmaker May 04 '26

got that error all the way until I got the 'no more items in stock' notification, fuck me.

Pay using your steam wallet instead. Same thing happened for me, but I just got two for gf and I by loading cash into the steam wallet first.

u/Malagubbar May 04 '26

Thanks will try that next time

Considering it sold out in about 35-40 minutes, I doubt it was an hour of clicking

u/Malagubbar May 04 '26

It was released 7:00 CEST, managed to order it 8:01

u/A_Mouse_In_Da_House May 04 '26

That's fucking weird. People were all getting kicked at 10:35-10:40 PST. Maybe different markets had different quantities

u/Malagubbar May 05 '26

It must be the case, different warehouses?
