Get ready for some news in the world of mobile gaming controllers. The Backbone One is making a comeback with some fantastic upgrades. In a press release, the company announced a few noteworthy improvements. The highlight of this update is the addition of USB C compatibility, which means that the Backbone One controller can now be used with a wide range of Android phones as well as the newly revealed iPhone 15 lineup. While the controller’s overall design and comfort remain as impressive as ever, one major change takes stage; an enhanced D pad that promises to elevate your gaming experience across different genres.
What’s more, they’ve also introduced magnetic adapters to improve the attachment mechanism ensuring a secure fit on a wider range of devices and making the controller even more versatile. The refreshed edition will be available in two colors; black and the stylish white BackBone One PlayStation Edition. To go along with this exciting announcement they’re launching an official carrying case, in both black and white options. The black case features the Backbone logo while the white one showcases PlayStation branding specially designed for fans of the PlayStation Edition.
Also receiving an update is the Backbone app, which is a mobile game launcher, with some exciting features. The screen recording feature on the controllers has also been updated which shows that the company is not only focussed on aesthetics but also on functionality and features.
If you are an iPhone gamer and you happen to purchase the new Backbone One, you will be awarded a three-month subscription to Apple Arcade, which is home to some exclusive mobile games like Hello Kitty Island Adventure and Fantasian. While there is no special reward announced for Android users, we are sure something will be offered to loyal users soon enough.
