8BitDo, a prominent name in the world of retro-modern gaming peripherals, has announced the very first Xbox-licensed wireless arcade stick.
The new 8BitDo Xbox Arcade Stick will work on the new Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. There are earlier versions that work on other platforms like Nintendo Switch, but this one was designed particularly for the Xbox.
It comes with a single solid fight stick with a robust set of buttons that long-time fight stick fighters would love. It also replicates the face buttons of the Xbox controllers. Plus, it has LSB and RSB buttons, which mimics the clicking of the left or right analog sticks.
8BitDo also included a toggle switch that will let you decide if the stick will act as a left or right analog stick, or be the D-pad.
It connects to your Xbox or PC via the included 2.4GHz wireless adapter. Using the device wirelessly can last you for up to 30 hours per charge. A wired USB-C option is also available for lower latency. It also comes with audio passthrough via the 3.5mm headphone jack.
The new 8BitDo Xbox Arcade Stick is now available for pre-order for a price USD119.99 (~Php6,700). It comes in two colors: Black and White.
