The Backbone One is an excellent accessory that provides a controller-like experience to mobile devices. Over the years, there have been multiple iterations throughout the years, but now the company has announced a sleek-looking Xbox Edition. This could be the perfect way to finally work through that ever-burgeoning Game Pass library.

Firstly, this model boasts a transparent Xbox green design, which is a nice touch. It also features a dedicated Xbox button, similar to an actual gamepad. This button has multiple functions. When playing a game or in the official Xbox app, a single press opens up the Xbox Guide. Otherwise, it’ll bring up the Backbone app and display all available Xbox games. A double press starts or stops screen recording, although this can be configured to take screenshots. Holding it down while playing a game will trigger the secondary button press.

Of course, it has a full suite of buttons that align with a typical Xbox controller. This allows gamers to “tap into their favorite games like Halo Infinite, Forza, and Indiana Jones” with the “precision, comfort, and reliability that Backbone is known to deliver.”

The Backbone One: Xbox Edition is available now for $110. However, it can only be purchased from the company or via Best Buy as part of its Drops program. Additionally, it will only be compatible with USB-C handsets, so older iPhones are not supported.

PlayStation fans already have their own Backbone One controller. That one features a traditional PlayStation layout and is detected as an actual DualSense controller in the PS Remote Play app.
