If you’re a gamer, your options for gaming on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV have just expanded.
Accessory maker 8bitDo has officially confirmed that six of its popular controllers now work with Apple devices thanks to recent software updates…
8BitDo makes a range of popular game controllers, but those controllers have historically been incompatible with Apple devices. The controllers, however, are fan favorites on other platforms, including Windows PCs, game consoles, and Android.
You’ll just need to make sure your controller is updated to the latest firmware and that your Apple device is running
Here are the 8BitDo controllers now compatible with Apple devices, provided they’ve been updated to iOS 16.3, iPadOS 16.3, tvOS 16.3, or macOS 13.2:
- 8BitDo Ultimate Controller 2.4g
- 8BitDo Pro 2
- 8BitDo SN30 Pro +
- 8BitDo Pro
- 8BitDo SN30 Pro for Android
- 8Bitdo Lite SE
Support for 8BitDo game controllers was included as part of iOS 16, but only recently has 8BitDo fully rolled out firmware support for the full slate of features.
The company has stated that it will add support for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV to additional controllers in the future.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
