Arkade is a PC Peripheral That Transforms Every Modern Shooter Into a Light Gun Game
Arkade Gaming Gun, a new PC peripheral showcased at Gamescom Asia x Thailand Game Show 2026, aims to bring back the nostalgia of classic light gun games like Time Crisis, Virtua Cop, and Duck Hunt. The device, set for release in 2027, is a motion-controlled gun controller that connects to PCs via a USB-C charging dock and acts as a wireless receiver for the gun.
Customizable button layout, tracking performance, and LED lighting on the gun’s barrel make it user-friendly. While initially disorienting to aim using physical pointing, once users get the hang of it, it feels incredibly fun, especially in boomer shooters like Prodeus. The trigger features two stages of operation, with a half-squeeze for zooming and a full squeeze for firing.
The device also supports third-person shooters and can be used with other peripherals for increased immersion. Currently priced at $399 USD, Arkade Gaming Gun is designed for PC, Mac, and Steam OS and may find its way to consoles in the future.
