8BitDo has introduced a new Xbox-licensed charging accessory designed for fans eagerly waiting for Gears of War: E-Day. The 8BitDo Ultimate Charging Dock for Xbox Controllers – Gears of War: E-Day brings a battle-worn design inspired by the limited edition Xbox Wireless Controller, while adding a more convenient true wireless charging system.
The new dock is built to match the Gears of War: E-Day Limited Edition Xbox controller, featuring a detailed 3D molded look that fits the gritty style of the upcoming game. It is compatible with Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S controllers, giving players a stylish way to keep their gamepad charged and ready between sessions.
What makes this charging dock stand out is its wireless battery pack. Unlike some earlier 8BitDo charging docks that rely on visible charging pins or contact plates, this model uses a battery pack with a built-in wireless charging coil. To use it, players simply replace the standard battery in their Xbox controller with the included 8BitDo battery pack, then place the controller on the dock to begin charging.
Another convenient detail is that the dock works with the controller’s original battery door. That means users do not need to swap in a special battery cover with metal contact points, making the setup cleaner and easier.
The Gears of War: E-Day version is also designed with heat management in mind. Instead of including a small storage compartment like some previous 8BitDo docks, this model uses that space for ventilation. These vents help with heat dissipation while the controller is charging.
8BitDo has also added several safety features, including over-voltage protection, over-current protection, overheating protection, and over-charge protection. These protections are intended to keep the controller and battery safe during regular charging use.
The package includes the charging dock, a 1,000mAh semi-solid-state lithium battery, and a USB cable. It also features an adjustable LED indicator, allowing users to customize or manage the charging light based on their preference.
The 8BitDo Ultimate Charging Dock for Xbox Controllers – Gears of War: E-Day is priced at $39.99. Pre-orders are available now, with the official release scheduled for October 9.
For Xbox players who want a charging dock that matches the dark, rugged style of Gears of War: E-Day, this accessory offers both looks and useful charging upgrades. Its true wireless charging design, included battery pack, safety protections, and official Xbox compatibility make it a strong option for fans preparing for the next chapter in the Gears of War series.
