Remember last Summer when Backbone released a PlayStation Edition of the Backbone One but it was only for iOS and not for Android? Well now Android users can get their hands on one.
This week Backbone officially launched the Android version of the PlayStation Edition Backbone One. A mobile game controller that is hailed by many a mobile game enthusiast as the best mobile controller out there. The foundation of this controller is the exact same as the original Backbone One. Which also supports Android. Specifically it has all the same features.
But where it changes things up are with the aesthetics. Just by looking at it, you can tell the design was inspired by the PS5’s DualSense controller. In addition to the white color, it also has some of the same buttons. Most notably the square, circle, triangle, cross button combo. You’ll also find that the menu button is the same. And while the d-pad is a different shape, it has the same style as on the DualSense. Then there’s the official PlayStation log on the back of the sliding expandable hinge.
Basically, no one is mistaking this for anything other than a PlayStation-themed mobile controller.
The Backbone One PlayStation Edition for Android is great for Remote Play
While the controller will be great for mobile games and games from cloud gaming services like GeForce NOW, it’s also great for Remote Play.
Backbone confirms that the Remote Play app on Android will recognize this controller as a DualSense. So you can easily play your PS4 or PS5 games via Remote Play with the same input recognition. You won’t have the advanced DualSense features of course.
The Backbone One PlayStation Edition can be picked up right now directly from Backbone, and from retailers like Best Buy.
