While mobile gaming usually takes the form of using touch controls, there have been several mobile-friendly controllers that have hit the market. The Razer Kishi is one, but for those who want to represent the PlayStation brand a little more when gaming on your iPhone, Backbone has officially revealed a licensed mobile controller called the Backbone One – PlayStation Edition.
Similar to how the DualSense looks aesthetically, the Backbone One – PlayStation Edition was brought to life through a collaboration between the Backbone team and PlayStation. The white color remains, while the finishes are reminiscent of the PS5 controller.
With a setup that aims to mimic the traditional controller setup, albeit with your iPhone smack in the middle, enjoying your favorite PS4 and PS5 games via the Remote PS Play app becomes a completely different experience.
Gamers can download the Backbone app for a personalized PlayStation experience. Inside the app, you’ll see various PlayStation integrations, including custom glyphs representing iconic PlayStation shapes and the ability to browse through hundreds of game titles. There will also be a dedicated app queue with new PlayStation releases and updates.
Also, don’t just limit yourself to the stable of games that can be played via Remote Play. The device also supports other games from the App Store and streaming services that support controllers.
The Backbone One – PlayStation Edition will be available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom at launch, with more countries to follow.
