8BitDo launches limited edition charging dock for Xbox controllers along with a free rechargeable battery

If you want a charging dock for your Forza Horizon 6 Xbox Wireless Controller Limited Edition, 8BitDo has got you covered. The gaming accessory manufacturer has announced a matching charging dock for the limited edition controller as well as other Xbox wireless controllers.

The 8BitDo Charging Dock for Xbox Wireless Controllers - Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition is a collaboration between 8BitDo, Xbox, and Forza Horizon 6. Designed to work with Xbox Series X|S controllers, the dock has three pogo pins for charging, in addition to two magnets to ensure your controller is secured in place. It also has a storage compartment for spare batteries, battery doors, and small accessories.

Another neat feature of the 8BitDo Charging Dock for Xbox Wireless Controllers - Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition is the adjustable ambient lighting. 8BitDo has added a button (next to the USB-C port) that can be used to switch between two brightness levels for the LED charging indicator. The indicator will glow amber when charging and turn white when the controller is fully charged.

Other features of the 8BitDo Charging Dock for Xbox Wireless Controllers - Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition are over-voltage protection, over charge protection, over current protection, and over heating protection.

While first-party Xbox wireless controllers don't come with a rechargeable battery, buyers can purchase one along with a USB-C cable for $24.99. However, if you don't have a rechargeable battery for your Xbox controller, you can still purchase the charging dock as 8BitDo includes a free 1,100mAh NiMH rechargeable battery in the box. The capacity is a little less than the 1,400mAh capacity of the official Xbox rechargeable battery, but considering the dock is priced at $34.99, you can't complain. You are also getting a free battery door and a USB-C cable.

The 8BitDo Charging Dock for Xbox Wireless Controllers - Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition is available to pre-order now on the 8BitDo eShop for $34.99. It will begin to ship on June 8, 2026, which is roughly a week after the release of the Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition (available to pre-order on Amazon for $89.99).
