Xbox owners and fans of Rare Limited will want to grab Amazon’s Black Friday deal on 8BitDo’s first wireless Xbox controller before it’s gone. The 8BitDo Ultimate 3-Mode Rare 40th Anniversary Edition is discounted to $72 (was $90) while supplies last–and this deal is likely to sell out pretty fast. Released in August, this edition of the Ultimate 3-Mode works wirelessly on Xbox consoles, PC, Apple devices, and Android.
Officially licensed by Microsoft, the Rare 40th Anniversary Edition comes with a matching charging dock, premium components–including back buttons, Hall Effect sticks, and a metal D-pad–and is presented in a striking blue-and-gold color scheme with symbols and artwork nodding to the Microsoft-owned studio’s storied history. Though best known today as the studio behind Sea of Thieves, Rare has a back catalog of classics like Donkey Kong Country, GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, and Perfect Dark.
