“The Backbone One – PlayStation Edition controller was brought to life by our design team in collaboration with experts from Sony Interactive Entertainment and PlayStation. Colors, materials and finishes are inspired by the design of the PS5 console’s DualSense wireless controller, from the transparent key effect to the distinctive floating appearance. This does not detract from other products in the PS5 lineup, such as the Pulse 3D headset, which can be connected directly to the Backbone One – PlayStation Edition controller,” says Manit Khayra, CEO of Backbone.
“The Backbone One controller is a must-have PlayStation accessory on the iPhone. If you have access to a high-speed internet connection and a PS5 or PS4 console, connect your iPhone to your Backbone One controller and immediately start playing PS5 and PS4 games with the PS Remote Play app, whether you’re away from home or in the next room.
The Backbone One controller also works great with games from the App Store or other game streaming services that support controllers, including Genshin Impact, Fantasian, Call of Duty Mobile, and more. Players can download the Backbone App for a unique PlayStation experience. This offers various PlayStation integrations such as custom glyphs representing iconic PlayStation symbols or the ability to view hundreds of games.”
