Something Big is Coming to X-Arcade: A New Era of Arcade Control

We Have Been Working on Something Special

Something new is emerging. X-Arcade’s next chapter is almost here.
For over 20 years, X-Arcade has been building arcade controllers that outlast trends, cheap knockoffs, and even the cabinets they are installed in. Every product we ship carries that legacy. And now, we are preparing to add something new to the lineup that we think is going to change how you experience arcade gaming.
We cannot reveal everything just yet. But we can tell you this: we have been listening to what our community has been asking for, and we are delivering in a big way this summer.
New hardware is coming. Pre-orders opening soon.


What We Can Tell You

The new hardware expands the X-Arcade product family in a direction we have never gone before. We are taking the build quality and reliability you know from the Tankstick MAX and applying it to experiences that push the boundaries of what arcade hardware can do.
This is not an incremental update or a color swap. This is an entirely new product designed from the ground up. It has been in development for months, tested extensively, and built to the same standards that have defined our brand for two decades.

What to Expect

Brand-new product joining the lineup.
Pre-orders opening in the coming weeks.
Same legendary build quality. New capabilities.
Full details, specs, and pricing coming soon.
