GDC2014: SteelSeries to Sell Developer Stratus Controller, Demo New Games
SteelSeries is set to appear at GDC from March 19th through March 21st to demonstrate their recently released Stratus MFi game controller with existing and upcoming games, as well as offer developers a discounted version of the gamepad.
SteelSeries and Tobii Team Up for GDC 2014
SteelSeries, the industry leader in premium gaming peripherals, will offer game developers at GDC the opportunity to test the MFi-certified Stratus Wireless Gaming Controller for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch with some of the most popular, top-grossing games as well as new titles that are just launching at GDC.
Also during the show, SteelSeries will be introducing the SteelSeries Stratus Dev Kit, which will include an exclusive game developer price of $55 and free shipping. More details on where to sign-up will be released at the show.
The SteelSeries Stratus controller is not exactly a new release; it has been available for several months now, with good reviews and widespread availability at Apple Stores. With that said, hopefully this GDC appearance, and the reduced cost developer SKU, will spur further developer adoption of MFi controllers.
For existing owners of the SteelSeries Stratus controller, remember to update your controller’s firmware to the latest version. Major button lag issues were recently corrected in a downloadable firmware patch. For information and instructions about how to apply this patch, follow this link:
