Backbone One – PlayStation Edition is a DualSense-inspired iPhone controller that has more in common with an Xbox pad.
PS Remote Play is still a thing, and the Backbone One – PlayStation Edition is just the reminder we needed.
While it’s not on a par with Xbox Cloud Gaming, PS Remote Play does let you stream PS4 and PS5 games on the go using your smartphone’s mobile data. This wasn’t always the case, but a PS5 firmware update last year added the feature. So players aren’t stuck at home tethered to their consoles with pseudo-portable gaming sessions. And now they can keep things on brand with the Backbone One – PlayStation Edition.
Unveiled on the PlayStation blog (opens in new tab), the DualSense-inspired iPhone controller is just the regular Backbone One with a new paint job. Everything else is exactly the same as the black version. Including the layout, which mirrors the Xbox Wireless Controller more than it does the DualSense.
