8BitDo announced that eight of its flagship controllers are now compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 following a firmware update.
8BitDo has an extensive line of controllers that are already compatible with the original Switch, including an all-button arcade controller launching in July. The new firmware update is available for the following models:
- Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller
- Ultimate Bluetooth Controller
- Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller

The company said more updates are coming soon.
8BitDo provides multiple tools for updating the firmware on its controllers. There’s an Upgrade app available for macOS and Windows PCs that downloads and installs new firmware when a controller is connected to the computer with a USB cable.
You can also use 8BitDo Ultimate Software for Windows, Android and iOS mobile devices, or the newer 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2, which is only available for Windows and macOS. You can check which version of the Ultimate Software that your 8BitDo controller is compatible with on the company’s website.
