A hidden easter egg has been discovered in the Steam Controller. When the controller is dropped, it can play the iconic Wilhelm Scream sound through its haptic motors. The discovery was made by Reddit user RF3D19, who shared the finding on the platform.

The sound is produced by the controller's haptic motors, which are tuned to generate audio. The controller does not have a built-in speaker. There is a cooldown of about one minute before the sound can play again. Initial reports suggested Big Picture mode was required, but that is not the case.
RF3D19 posted a video on YouTube to demonstrate the easter egg. The user noted that the controller was dropped onto a bed to avoid damage. No other controllers were harmed during the discovery.
Valve has not officially commented on the easter egg. The company has not confirmed whether the feature was intentionally included or if it will be addressed in a future update.
