GameSir Launches Six Fortnite-Themed G8 Plus and X5 Lite Controllers
The Peely Edition G8 Plus costs $89.99 and the black and green X5 Lite Fortnite Edition costs $49.99, each shipping with a virtual in-game item.
GameSir has released six new Fortnite-themed colourways across its G8 Plus and X5 Lite mobile controllers, according to GamesRadar. The Peely Edition G8 Plus is priced at $89.99, while the black and green X5 Lite Fortnite Edition costs $49.99.
Each controller in the lineup includes a virtual in-game item such as gliders or emotes. The two models differ in how they connect: the G8 Plus ships with a wireless dongle for PC use and can connect to Nintendo Switch, whereas the X5 Lite relies on a physical USB-C connection and has no PC or Switch support.
Both controllers stretch to hold phones and small tablets, with the G8 Plus reaching 215mm and the X5 Lite 213mm. The two editions are available now through GameSir's own store; Amazon listings are live but currently out of stock.
Background
GamesRadar's Rosalie previously reviewed the G8 Plus and switched to it from the Joy-Con. In October 2025, the same writer recalled first playing Fortnite at age 21, when Epic launched the Battle Royale mode for a weekend.
