8BitDo announced that eight of its flagship controllers are now compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 following a firmware update.

Although some companies had early access to the Switch 2’s specs to build accessories like cases and screen protectors, many had to wait until launch day to ensure their devices were compatible with the new console.

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
• Ultimate C Bluetooth Controller
• Pro 2 Bluetooth Gamepad
• SN30 Pro Bluetooth Gamepad
• USB Wireless Adapter 2
• USB Wireless Adapter

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.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launched on June 5th, and with it, so did a bunch of games. Some are first-party Nintendo titles, though most are third-party offerings, including some notable ports of games we’ve been enjoying for a while on other gaming platforms. We bundled together all of the Switch 2 accessories in one, easy to browse article, so we’re doing the same for the launch games. In addition to prices, we’ll include install size, and whether the game is on the cartridge in full, or if it’s one of Nintendo’s Game-Key Cards (they’re cartridges that entitle you to a digital download, and that can be resold without issue).

OpenAI says it’s forced to store deleted ChatGPT conversations “indefinitely” due to a court order issued as part of The New York Times’ copyright lawsuit against it. In a post on Thursday, OpenAI chief operating officer Brad Lightcap says the company is appealing the court’s decision, which he calls an “overreach” that “abandons long-standing privacy norms and weakens privacy protections.”

Last month, a court ordered OpenAI to preserve “all output log data that would otherwise be deleted,” even if a user requests the deletion of a chat or if privacy laws require OpenAI to delete data. OpenAI’s policies state that when a user deletes a chat, it retains it for 30 days before permanently deleting it. The company must now put a pause on this policy until the court says otherwise.

OpenAI says the court order will impact free, Pro, Plus, and Team ChatGPT users. It won’t affect ChatGPT Enterprise or ChatGPT Edu customers, or businesses that have a zero data retention agreement. OpenAI adds that the data won’t be public, and “only a small, audited OpenAI legal and security team” will be able to access the stored information for legal purposes. 

The Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement in 2023, accusing the companies of “copying and using millions” of the newspaper’s articles to train their AI models. The publication argues that saving user data could help preserve evidence to support its case.

“We think this was an inappropriate request that sets a bad precedent,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a post on X. “We will fight any demand that compromises our users’ privacy; this is a core principle.” The New York Times declined to comment.
