8BitDo's Great Arcade Stick Is Discounted Just In Time For Mortal Kombat 1

While the standard Xbox controller is great for most games, anyone dedicated to fighting games will get a lot of mileage out of a good fight stick. If you’re plugging away at Street Fighter 6 or are about to dive into Mortal Kombat 1, now might be a great time to invest in the 8BitDo Arcade Stick. Not only is it one of the best budget arcade sticks of 2023 for Xbox and PC, but it's currently matching its lowest price yet at Amazon.

8BitDo Arcade Stick

$108 (was $120)

8BitDo's Arcade Stick is the first officially licensed wireless fight stick for Xbox. That means you know it’ll work flawlessly with your Series X, thanks to a wireless USB adapter and optional wired connection. It’ll also work on PC and is highly customizable, allowing you to tinker with the buttons and joystick as you see fit. Only the black version of the arcade stick is on sale for this price; the white edition still costs $120.

On the faceplate you’ll find large, arcade-style buttons that make it easy to input complex combos, along with a premium joystick that’ll stand up to even the most intense matches. At the top left corner of the unit is a slew of other buttons, including a Share button and Home button--making it easy to capture footage of your latest match or quickly navigate menus.

While this 10% discount isn’t much, 8BitDo's Arcade Sticks, including the Switch/PC version, are almost never discounted. And if you’re looking for a high-quality companion for Street Fighter 6 or Mortal Kombat 1, it’s hard to do better than this.

Amazon doesn’t list an end date for the deal, so we’d recommend moving fast if you want to snag one at this low price. Depending on your location, you could have it in your hands by tomorrow morning (thanks to Prime Overnight shipping).

If you need Street Fighter 6, you can get a Steam key for $49.68 at Fanatical. Xbox players can grab the game for $49.49 at Amazon.
