CRKD™, the premium collectible gaming brand known for their highly popular Nitro™ Deck, and line of premium rhythm gaming products, announced today the ULT PRO, a next-generation professional wireless gaming controller featuring multi-platform connectivity and an array of state-of-the-art technology.

Ideal for professional or competitive gamers who demand precision, customization, and multi-platform compatibility, the ULT PRO sets a new standard in performance, yet is priced competitively, allowing any gamer to take advantage of its premium feature set.

Compatible with Nintendo® Switch™ 2 | 1, PC, mobile devices, tablets and Smart TVs, the ULT PRO offers exceptional versatility, seamlessly adapting to a wide variety of gaming platforms.

Engineered with TMR Thumbsticks (Tunnelling Magnetoresistance), this next-generation magnetic sensor technology has been designed to forever eliminate Stick Drift, and provides superior precision compared to traditional mechanical Thumbsticks or Hall Effect sensors.

With deep customization options built into its DNA, the ULT PRO includes six additional remappable inputs, adjustable trigger travel, swappable components, and advanced configuration through the CRKD Companion App.

The ULT PRO offers multiple connectivity options, adapting to gamers’ needs, and includes 2.4GHz wireless use via the included dongle, Bluetooth®, and USB-C wired play.

Customization is at the heart of the ULT PRO experience.

In addition, the ULT PRO features dual four-way toggle buttons, offering quick access to system functions.

The ULT PRO introduces an ingenious trigger toggle system that lets players instantly switch between a short, tactile bump or a longer-travel trigger feel, depending on their preferred playstyle. Each trigger can be adjusted independently, allowing gamers to configure the left and right triggers differently should they so choose.

With each trigger utilizing Hall Effect sensors, players can fine-tune actuation sensitivity, giving even greater control over the speed with which each trigger responds. When playing on Nintendo Switch, the triggers function as digital inputs, while on PC they operate as analog triggers, providing enhanced precision and flexibility across platforms.

Further customization is made possible through profile presets stored directly on the ULT PRO, allowing players to quickly switch between different control setups depending on the game they’re playing. Presets can be created and managed directly on the controller or configured through the CRKD Companion App, affording complete control over their controller setup. Players can also fine-tune the feel and appearance of their controller with swappable stick tops and swappable D-pads sold separately.

Additional features include adjustable rumble with a wide dynamic frequency range, delivering an immersive gameplay experience. Players can also enable No Deadzone Mode for enhanced stick precision and use the built-in turbo function to automate repeated inputs. A dedicated platform slider allows users to quickly switch between connected devices with a simple flick.

The ULT PRO includes an integrated rechargeable battery, and comes bundled with a sleek charging dock, charging cable, and high-speed wireless dongle. The included dock makes it easy to charge and display the controller between sessions, while players also have the flexibility to power the controller using standard AA batteries if preferred. Players can also purchase an additional rechargeable battery pack separately, and the charging dock features a hidden compartment designed to charge a secondary battery, allowing for quick hot swapping during sustained gaming sessions.

Players can further customize their controller experience through the CRKD Companion App, which allows for button remapping, trigger configuration, stick sensitivity adjustments, input presets, firmware updates, and more.

The complete Avatar cinematic journey comes together in a must-own 3-movie collection, available on Digital, 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD, featuring Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Avatar: Fire and Ash. This comprehensive bundle invites fans to return to the breathtaking world of Pandora and experience its unforgettable characters and epic storytelling again and again.

Albion Online Coming to Xbox on April 21

Albion Online, the free-to-play fantasy sandbox MMORPG developed by Sandbox Interactive will launch for Xbox Series X|S on 21 April 2026. Albion Online is currently available for PC, iOS and Android, and the step into console spaces will open up the door to new players while giving long-time fans a new way to play on their existing account.

Albion Online is set in a fantasy medieval world where players can forge their own path by exploring the vast landscapes, crafting everything from basic tools and clothes to armor and powerful weapons, facing enemies or other adventurers, and carving out their own pieces of Albion by forming guilds, claiming land and making it their own.

The game has been fully optimised for Xbox Series S|X with a brand-new UI navigation flow, a dedicated controller scheme and specifically adapted key screens, like the Marketplace and player inventory. Combat has also been overhauled to work smoothly with controllers, and new accessibility features have been developed with console players in mind.

RoadCraft’s Reclaim Expansion Is Out Now

Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive are excited to announce the launch of RoadCraft’s second major DLC: the “Reclaim Expansion!” Marking a second year full of updates, this expansion brings exciting new content to RoadCraft, including two new maps and seven vehicles, as well as brand-new demolition and salvage gameplay. RoadCraft’s “Reclaim Expansion” is available today for $14.99 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

New Regions to Rebuild from the Ground Up!

The “Reclaim Expansion” adds two brand-new maps to RoadCraft. From storm-ravaged Central Europe to drought-stricken North Africa, these new maps introduce vital challenges to take on:

Autumn Collapse: Help this new forest-filled region recover from violent storms by clearing routes, stabilizing infrastructure, assessing buildings, and demolishing unsafe structures to reclaim valuable materials.

Summer Drought: An ongoing drought has rendered infrastructure unsuitable for the harsh environment, and players must secure access to water, rebuild critical facilities, and dismantle obsolete structures to prepare the region for long-term survival under extreme conditions.

New Vehicles to Help Manage New Gameplay Possibilities

The “Reclaim Expansion” introduces seven new vehicles to further harness and expand RoadCraft’s next-gen, physics-driven sandbox, including the 5111Б Dragline Demolisher, a heavy demolition vehicle ready to dismantle abandoned or unsafe buildings and recover salvageable resources, and the Torque G-175, a massive tree crusher designed to clear dense forests to create new paths for forestry-based missions. Players will also receive a new Scout vehicle, SAR vehicle, Heavy Cargo variant, and Heavy Sand Dumper, as well as the Hollander M7, a new cable layer for restoring power in damaged areas.

Today’s new expansion introduces a major feature that allows players to explore new demolition and salvage gameplay options solo or in co-op. Demolition is a strategic choice that allows materials to be salvaged and reused elsewhere, bringing a new sense of autonomy to RoadCraft’s gameplay. You can now rebuild your own way as decisions directly reshape the environment, influencing future missions.

Celebrate RoadCraft’s First Anniversary with the New 1‑Year Anniversary Edition

This edition is available now for $59.99 and includes the base game, the “Rebuild Expansion,” the “Timberworks Pack” DLC, as well as the brand‑new “Reclaim Expansion.” It also grants day‑one access to the Invictus Type A, a unique high‑performance scout vehicle.
