Controller Charging Meets Console Customization with Nyko’s Modular Charge Station for Xbox® One and PlayStation® 4

Console-mountable controller charging docks coming soon to retailers

LOS ANGELES – August 5, 2014 – Leading gaming accessories manufacturer Nyko Technologies® today announced the Modular Charge Station for Xbox® One and PlayStation® 4, completely wireless docks for charging controllers, is coming to video game retail stores this fall. The newest addition to Nyko’s Modular line of products announced at E3 2014, the Modular Charge Station, with a separate version each for both Xbox One and PS4, mounts atop the console for a drop-and-go controller charging dock. It is wirelessly powered via the system’s USB port.

“The spirit of the Modular line is to customize the consoles for optimal performance in the most cost and space-efficient way possible,” said Chris Arbogast, director of marketing at Nyko Technologies. “The Modular Charge Station accomplishes that by letting players charge controllers directly atop their consoles — no wires or extra storage space is needed.”

The Nyko Modular Charge Station for Xbox One and PS4 features:

• Charges two Xbox One Wireless Controllers or two DualShock® 4 controllers simultaneously
• Clean, wireless design plugs directly into console USB ports — no wall outlet required
• No additional software, dongles, or extensions needed
• Can be used with other Nyko Modular line accessories including the Intercooler for Xbox One and PS4 and the Modular Power Station for Xbox One
• LED lights at the front clearly indicate charging status
• Xbox One version includes two custom NiMH rechargeable batteries for easy drop-and-charge functionality, providing up to 25 hours of playtime
