New 8BitDo Limited Edition Controllers Drop for Evo 2026
Just a few days after announcing the Arcade Stick in a new color, 8BitDo has announced three new limited edition controllers. The controllers are Evo 2026 Limited Editions of the Arcade Stick, Arcade Controller, and the M30 Bluetooth Gamepad. These new version’s are meant to celebrate the upcoming tournament.
The Arcade Stick’s Dark Purple Design
The Arcade Stick Evo 2026 Limited Edition comes in purple, but a darker shade than the one announced a few days ago. It also has the EVO (Evolution Championship Series) logo at the bottom right corner, while the glass panel has a fiery purple artwork. This is the premium stick they’ve offered for this year’s event.
Transparent Purple Arcade Controller Details
On the other hand, the Evo 2026 Limited Edition Arcade Controller, has a transparent purple shell that is identical to the Transparent Purple Signature Edition (available on Amazon for $94.99) that was announced in December 2025. However, rather than a plain black glass plate, it also has the fiery purple artwork, albeit on a larger scale, like that of the Arcade Stick above. So basically the same shell with different artwork.
M30 Gamepad Gets Fiery Flames
Finally, the Evo 2026 Limited Edition M30 Bluetooth Gamepad comes in black like one of the standard colors (available on Amazon for $29.99), but features a purple flame design below the D-pad and above the XYZ buttons. There’s also the EVO logo above the start button, while the words “Evolution Championship Series” are printed above the D-pad. This is a nice subtle look for fans.
Limited Stock and Exclusivity
8BitDo says only 100 units of each controller have been produced, and they will be sold exclusively at the Evo 2026 championship, which begins on June 26 and ends on June 28 in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, 8BitDo didn’t reveal the prices for the controllers. So you’ll have to be at the event to grab one.
