Genshin Impact Gets an Officially Licensed Controller
Genshin Impact, a widely acclaimed action role-playing game developed by HoYoverse, has taken a significant leap in its merchandise expansion. Known for its captivating world and dynamic characters, Genshin Impact’s latest offering is not another character or storyline update, but rather a tangible accessory for its massive gaming community – an officially licensed controller.
The New Addition:
The Genshin Impact controller, created in collaboration with 8bitdo, marks the first official gaming controller for the franchise. 8bitdo, renowned for its wireless controllers and adapters, has crafted this controller under an official license. The design is inspired by Chongyun, a popular 4-Star glacial warrior from the game. Sporting a color scheme of white and light blue, with key buttons in midnight blue and a gold directional cross, the controller is a visual treat for fans.
Product Features:
The Genshin Impact controller is essentially a modified version of 8bitdo’s Ultimate Controller. It comes packed with a protective case, a USB receiver, a charging stand, and a unique set of accessories. These accessories include a key ring dedicated to Chongyun, four stick covers, and a magnet, making it a collector’s item as much as a functional gaming tool.
Compatibility and Availability:
Compatibility is a key feature of this controller. It can be connected to a wide range of devices including PCs (Windows 10/11), Android devices (9.0 and above), Raspberry Pi, SteamOS, and all Apple devices via Bluetooth. The controller is set for release on December 18, 2023, in the United States, with international availability details yet to be confirmed.
