8BitDo released a charging dock for Xbox Wireless Controllers that matches the Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition design. The accessory now ships alongside wider availability after a pre-order period in April. Buyers get a magnetic docking station, a spare rechargeable battery, and a themed battery door.

The magnetic accessory includes a spare battery and themed door for extended gaming sessions

The dock targets Xbox Series S|X controllers and includes official licensing for the racing game franchise. It uses a magnetic connection to secure the controller during charging sessions. The package also contains a USB-C cable for power delivery and data connections.

  • Charging Time: 3 hours
  • LED Indicator Color (Charging): Amber
  • LED Indicator Color (Fully Charged): White
  • Included Battery Capacity: 1,100mAh
  • Cable Type: USB-C

A built-in 1,100mAh battery provides backup power for the controller when swapped out. The dock completes a full charge in approximately three hours. An LED indicator shows amber light during charging and switches to white upon completion. Users can adjust the brightness of this indicator using a dedicated button near the USB-C port.

A small storage compartment inside the unit holds the spare battery, the gray Forza-branded battery door, and other small accessories. The magnetic design ensures the controller sits securely while connected to power. The dock operates as both a charging station and a portable power source for extended gaming sessions.

The 8BitDo Charging Dock for Xbox Wireless Controllers – Forza Horizon 6 Limited Edition costs $34.99 in the US market. Amazon UK lists the same item at £31, which converts to approximately $41.48 USD. Customers can purchase the dock directly from 8BitDo's eShop or through major online retailers.

This release follows an April announcement where 8BitDo first revealed the Forza Horizon 6-themed accessory. The product aligns with Microsoft's official Xbox controller lineup and targets fans of the racing series. It joins other limited-edition gaming peripherals that use licensed game artwork for cosmetic customization.
