Deal | 8BitDo's Arcade Controller and Arcade Stick get huge discounts for a limited time

8BitDo just announced the Arcade Controller Pro, and while it won't be available for a few months, the non-pro Arcade Controller and the Arcade Stick are on sale. The deal, which is available on Amazon, as well as 8BitDo's eshop, covers all three versions of the Arcade Controller, save for the new Evo 2026 edition, which is not sold online.

The 8BitDo Arcade Controller launched a year ago for $89.99 with support for Windows devices and the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 systems. As part of its Prime Day deals, Amazon has it for $57.40, but if you don't have an Amazon Prime subscription, you can still get a good discount as non-prime members can purchase the controller for $60.43. For buyers who are not in the US, 8BitDo has the controller on sale for $61.99 on its eshop.

The 8BitDo Arcade Controller Signature Edition, which has a purple translucent design is on sale too. It's not only different on the outside from the standard N Edition above, but is also different on the inside, as it features Kailh Purple Glede linear low-profile mechanical switches, the same switches included in the upgrade kit released for the Arcade Controller. The standard N Edition uses Kailh Wizard low-profile mechanical switches.

When the Signature Edition began shipping in late January, following its announcement in December 2025, it cost $94.99. Now, Amazon has brought the price down to $60.79 for Prime subscribers, while non-prime members have to pay $63.99, the same price 8BitDo is selling it on its eshop.

If you own an Xbox, then the Arcade Controller for Xbox is the one you want to get. Priced at $99.99 at launch, the 8BitDo eshop has it on sale for $65.99, while Prime members can purchase it on Amazon for $65.89. Non-prime members will have to pay $73.99 instead, which is more than you'd pay if you buy it directly from 8BitDo.

If you prefer the Arcade Stick, it is also on sale. Amazon has slashed the price of the controller, so Amazon Prime members can purchase it for $63.64, instead of $83.99. Non-Prime members will be able to buy it for slightly more at $66.99. Unfortunately, the 8BitDo eShop doesn't have the Arcade Stick available, save for the newly-launched purple version, which is not on sale.

8BitDo is also offering an additional $2 off on all items purchased from its eshop when you use the code 8BITDOVIP2 at checkout, so some of the prices above should match or be lower than those on Amazon. The sale on the 8BitDo eshop runs until 11:59 PM PDT on June 26, the same time and date Amazon's Prime Day ends.
