8BitDo has announced an updated version of its Arcade Controller Pro, featuring a built-in screen that allows users to customize button mappings and other settings directly on the device, eliminating the need for a companion app. The controller retains its all-button layout, designed for fighting games and arcade-style play.
The new model includes a thinner design compared to its predecessor, an extra programmable button, and a dedicated screenshot button for the Nintendo Switch. The screen provides a user-friendly interface for adjusting profiles, macros, and other configurations on the fly.
As of June 24, 2026, 8BitDo has not officially confirmed a release date or pricing for the updated Arcade Controller Pro. The company is known for its retro-inspired controllers and has a history of releasing multiple variants of its products.
