Xbox is making significant strides in the mobile gaming arena, emphasizing its commitment to being an identity rather than just a platform. This vision is reflected in their latest collaboration with game peripheral manufacturer Backbone, introducing the new mobile-focused controller, the Backbone One: Xbox Edition. Priced at a recommended retail price of $109.99, this controller will be available directly from Backbone and through Best Buy Drops.
The Backbone One: Xbox Edition stands out with its Xbox-inspired design, featuring the familiar XYBA buttons and Xbox icon. It also sports a stylish semi-translucent green design that's sure to catch the eye. Currently, the controller is compatible only with USB-C devices, catering to Android users and potentially some iOS devices in the future, should EU legislation mandating USB-C ports come into effect.
**Is it worth the price?** The Backbone One: Xbox Edition certainly looks appealing, especially for those who appreciate the aesthetic of translucent green plastic. It's a must-have for avid GamePass users and others who enjoy mobile gaming. However, the price point of over $100 might be a deterrent for some. While it's significantly less than the cost of an Xbox console, the premium branding and price may not sit well with everyone.
Xbox's push into mobile gaming is undeniable, and the Backbone One: Xbox Edition is a testament to their commitment. For those interested in exploring what Xbox has to offer on mobile, don't miss our curated list of the top 10 best Xbox Game Pass releases for Android!
