I think Backbone might have had some help with its new Xbox Edition mobile controller

There’s a new Backbone One controller on the shelves, and this Xbox Edition looks a lot like the Post Malone limited run that launched last year. That translucent green chassis does look a little darker, and there’s none of Posty’s own iconography across the rear of the bridge, but overall this could be the same gamepad.

The BackBone One Xbox Edition does stamp Microsoft’s Xbox button on the left gamepad for easier access during Game Pass sessions, but otherwise offers the same core experience as the rest of the gang. Up there with the best mobile controllers on the market, the latest special edition is available today for $109.99, exclusively at Backbone’s own store.

Post Malone’s special edition Backbone One looks incredibly similar, but it did launch in a particularly limited run in June 2024. There were only 500 units available worldwide for that release, so if you missed out on the translucent design last year you’ve got another shot today.

The Backbone One was among the first mobile controllers offering the full powered wraparound design, and with the current generation iPhone jumping over to USB-C, the Xbox Edition is compatible with more devices than ever. Older Apple devices won’t be able to run the gamepad, but everything with a compatible port will house this gamepad just fine.
