![]() ![]() These buttons are extra responsive and comfortable to click, with no stiff awkwardness when pressing buttons quickly or when shooting using the triggers. Each version will have the same Backbone button which takes you instantly to the Backbone App (I will break down the app later in this article), screenshot/screen record button, a ‘menu’ button and a ‘options’ button. The buttons vary in design whether you get the PlayStation version of the Backbone One (the version that we tested) or the Xbox version, with each version having an identical button and d-pad design to its respective console controller. It’s look first reminded me most of the Nintendo Switch Joycons, with a pair of slightly small and agile sticks, no gripping texture apart from a raised ring around the edge and the relatively flat bumpers and triggers. Like I said previously, the Backbone One is probably the best controller for the mobile gamer if you want it most to feel like you are using an actual Xbox or PlayStation controller to play mobile games, and it is clearly evident when looking at the design of the Backbone One. They often have a flimsy feel which I did not sense whatsoever when picking up the Backbone One. Straight out of the sleek blacked out box, the Backbone One looks like the real deal, with a clean and not too cluttered pad joined together by a sturdy adjustable spine that reaches from one side of the controller to the other.īased off just the look, I was excited to test it out as it seemed like it was pretty close in quality compared to an actual controller, with some mobile game controllers sometimes feeling like they are a big stepdown from using a proper console controller. But a partnership with Backbone would seem to indicate bigger plans than just Remote Play.An easily attachable controller for your phone that allows you to play all the best mobile compatible games quickly and easily, whilst also giving you a very close experience to what console gaming is like on a mobile, we take a look into the innovative Backbone One. It’s not entirely clear what that looks like just yet - whether the company will offer cloud gaming on mobile, dedicated mobile-first games or both. SIE president Jim Ryan said in a briefing in May that the company plans aggressive growth on both PC and mobile. ![]() However, this partnership is another indicator of Sony’s intentions to change that. Via Game Pass, Xbox offers users dozens of titles on mobile, while PlayStation offers only remote play for its consoles. PlayStation’s approach to mobile isn’t as all-encompassing as Xbox’s. At the time, Backbone CEO Maneet Khaira said, “Backbone is becoming part of the Xbox and PlayStation ecosystem as an extension of the experience for core gamers.” And it appears he meant this literally. The company also raised $40 million in funding earlier this year. Going mobileīackbone has now partnered with two of the major players in the console space - Microsoft and Sony. This isn’t unique to the PlayStation edition, but it’s disappointing that it’s still part of the controller - especially considering how comfortable the DualSense is. While the rest of my fingers are doing work in the game, my pinkies are slipping off the round, smooth part of the grip. I still have one issue with the Backbone One, and I’ve had it since I tested the first one: The bottoms of the grips are not very ergonomic. ![]() If you wish to play your PlayStation games on your phone, the Backbone makes for a more comfortable experience. The experience is not as smooth as the Xbox Game Pass’s gameplay experience, but still easy to use. All of them seemed to do well on Remote Play. I tested it with a few different games on my PlayStation 5. It’s essentially still the same controller it has always been. It still works with non-PlayStation applications, such as Xbox Cloud Gaming and Apple Arcade titles. I got the chance to test the controller out, and it functions similarly to the original. Playing games with the Backbone’s PlayStation controller Users can also access the app’s features without the controller being attached. It has a dedicated row for PS Remote Play titles. According to Backbone, its app of the same name has also gotten a PS-friendly update. ![]()
