![]() ![]() The device stretches to accommodate a variety of phone sizes, and the protruding camera arrays found on modern phones shouldn’t be a problem. The Android version of the Backbone One PlayStation Edition supports almost any recent phone that runs Android 8.0 or later and has a USB-C connector. The device feels sturdy and although the side controllers are roughly the size of Nintendo’s Joy-con, they are much more comfortable to hold. The analogue stick layout is asymmetrical, though, which, together with the placement of the Options and Share buttons near the bottom, is a weird choice for an accessory aimed at PlayStation fans.Īnother inconvenience is the lack of a button to press instead of the PlayStation’s touchpad, so you’ll have to tap twice on your phone’s screen to bring up maps and other in-game menus. The L1 and R1 buttons are clicky, and the L2 and R2 are actual analogue triggers with nice travel, while the two analogue sticks are clickable, so you can do 元 and R3. The buttons on the right side and the D-Pad on the left side have the same translucent design seen on the PS5’s DualSense controller and you even get a PlayStation logo on the back. Instead of a generic ABXY button layout, you have PlayStation’s iconic triangle, circle, cross and square face buttons. ![]() This particular Backbone One version is an officially licensed product for PlayStation, so expect the build quality and design to match those of your PS5 console. It will help you discover new games to play and keep everything in one place, and on Android, the app is free right now, but an upcoming Backbone+ subscription will be adding more features.Īnother reason to have the app installed are features like taking screenshots, capturing gameplay and, more importantly, setting up a quick shortcut to PS Remote Play. The Backbone app is not required to use the device, but I strongly recommend you install it as it creates a very nice console-like experience and brings some important features. When you open the box, you’ll first see a card with a QR code to download the Backbone app on your phone before you even take the controller out. PLAYING PS4 or PS5 games on your living room TV is great, but what if you could turn your phone into a handheld console and take all your games wherever you want?īackbone’s latest mobile controller, the Backbone One PlayStation Edition, promises just that and more, and I tried it for a week to see if it delivers. ![]()
