Game Outlet Europe®, an independent distributor of video games and gaming accessories, announced today that the 8BitDo Ultimate 3 Controller for XBOX and PC is officially shipping across European territories in an all-new, striking Lavender Dusk special edition.
Officially licensed by XBOX, the Ultimate 3 represents the pinnacle of 8BitDo’s engineering, combining magnetic sensor precision, customizable physical resistance, and comprehensive ergonomic refinements.
“Hardware shouldn’t just perform at the highest level, it should look incredible on your desk,” said David Karlsson, CEO of Game Outlet Europe. “The Lavender Dusk edition brings a fresh, sophisticated aesthetic to the XBOX ecosystem. When you combine that design language with the convenience of the zero-contact charging dock and elite internal components, it’s easily one of the most complete controller packages available on the market today.”
At the heart of the 8BitDo Ultimate 3 is cutting-edge precision hardware:
- Force Ring Adjustable Tension & TMR Joysticks: Equipped with advanced Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) sensors for drift-free durability and unmatched sensitivity. Players can fine-tune stick resistance directly using the physical Force Ring. Turn the dial lighter for speed or tighter for control for precise aiming. Powered by a 216MHz processor and a 12-bit ADC sampling chip, ensuring inputs remain pinpoint accurate.
- Hall-Effect Impulse Triggers with Dual Trigger Stops: Magnetic contactless triggers deliver smooth, consistent pulls without wear, paired with two-stage physical trigger stops for instant hair-trigger firing in shooters.
- Expanded Pro Controls (L4 / R4 & Back Paddles): In addition to two remappable pro-level rear paddle buttons, the controller introduces extra high-speed L4 and R4 bumpers flanking the standard shoulder cluster, offering gamers faster access to critical actions.
- Integrated Wireless Charging Dock: Features a magnetic, zero-contact wireless charging cradle. The controller automatically powers down and charges when docked, and instantly wakes up and reconnects the moment it is lifted.
- Ergonomic Redesign: Built around an all-new chassis mold featuring a wider, more natural grip angle and textured ergonomics for extended gaming comfort.
- Tri-Mode Low-Latency Connectivity: Seamlessly connect via ultra-low latency 2.4GHz wireless or USB-C wired connection on Xbox consoles and Windows PC (supporting up to 1,000Hz polling rate on PC), as well as Bluetooth connectivity for mobile devices.
- Complete Software Customization: Compatible with 8BitDo Ultimate Software X on Xbox and PC, as well as Ultimate Software V2 on mobile, enabling players to customize button remapping, trigger and stick dead zones, vibration profiles, and motion-control parameters.
- Customizable 6-Axis Motion Control: Enjoy enhanced motion-based aiming and actions with 6-axis motion control under 2.4G mode on PC. Customizable in 8BitDo Ultimate Software X.
The Lavender Dusk 8BitDo Ultimate 3 Controller for XBOX is available now across major European retailers and online storefronts with an MSRP of $99.99 / €89.99 / £79.99.
