In conjunction with the highly anticipated launch of Street Fighter VI, 8BitDo has unveiled its latest offering: a new Xbox-licensed arcade stick. Scheduled to release later this month, this wireless accessory boasts moddable controls and supports swappable arcade buttons, providing gamers with a versatile and personalized gaming experience.
While the Arcade Stick for Xbox is not the first arcade-style joystick accessory on the market, nor is it 8BitDo’s initial foray into this category, the company’s track record of producing high-quality controllers suggests that it’s definitely worth considering. The standout feature of this arcade stick is its exceptional customizability. Users can easily remap buttons, including profile support, using the 8BitDo Ultimate Software. Furthermore, they have the option to swap out physical buttons, choosing between standard 30mm and 24mm sizes. Remarkably, the joystick’s mounting plate is also compatible with “virtually every arcade stick ever made,” according to 8BitDo.
