8BitDo has a new pair of officially licensed media remotes for the Xbox Series X, Series S, and the Xbox One, which offer a more suitable controller for streaming services or the consoles\u2019 built-in 4K Blu-ray players. There are two versions available: a slightly larger $24.99 black model which includes a full numpad and a compact $19.99 white version. Both are available to preorder on Amazon today, with shipping expected September 15th.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve generally liked 8BitDo\u2019s controllers in the past. Its Pro 2 controller gives Nintendo\u2019s own Switch Pro controller a run for its money in terms of functionality and is more affordable to boot, while its wireless Arcade Stick is a great way to play fighting games on Switch and PC. <\/p>\n
Although only one of 8BitDo\u2019s Xbox Media Remotes includes a numpad, both have basically every button you could want, including playback and navigation controls, and a mute button. Most of the Xbox controller\u2019s face buttons are also present, including A \/ B \/ X \/ Y, view, menu, and a home button that can wake the paired console remotely. The buttons are back lit, which should help with using the remote in cinema-appropriate lighting, and power is provided by a pair of AAA batteries.<\/p>\n
8BitDo\u2019s new accessory is far from the only media remote available for Microsoft\u2019s latest consoles, and any older media remotes designed for the Xbox One should also be cross-compatible. But 8BitDo\u2019s Media Remotes are cheap, stylish, and come from a brand that knows a thing or two about console peripherals. If you\u2019re in the market, then they\u2019re definitely worth a look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
