These Backbone One Controllers Are Currently 30% Off
If you told me as a schoolboy that today we would be able to play the latest Xbox and PlayStation games on our mobile phones, I would have started looking for the nearest time machine. Backbone One goes even further by allowing you to attach your phone to your device so you can feel as comfortable as a real game controller when you play on your phone. Both the standard and PlayStation controllers are currently available for $69.99 (originally $99.99)—their best price if you look at price checkers .
While you can choose an Apple or Android controller (depending on the Lightning or USB-C port), the discount is only available on the Apple controller.
The Backbone One was released in the fall of 2023 and received excellent reviews for its ability to stand out from other gimmicky cell phone controllers. Previously, the biggest problems with these controllers were latency issues and just plain bad design, but Backbone is addressing those issues to create a product that can truly make gaming on your phone fun and seamless through your PC or TV.
Any iPhone older than S6 is compatible with Backbone One. If you are playing on PlayStation, you can also buy a PlayStation controller as it will be smoother than the Standard Backbone One and will feel like you are playing on a PlayStation controller. To connect Backbone you will need the PlayStation app and the Backbone app installed on your phone. If your phone and game console are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you’ll have the best connection and lowest latency. But if you have a good internet connection, you can log in and play from your phone (you’ll have to use your phone’s data if you’re not connected to Wi-Fi).
It doesn’t matter whether you think Xbox or PlayStation is better ; The fact that you can stream both on your phone is a lot of fun. As it stands, the ability to stream to a phone takes portable gaming systems to the next level.
