Xbox has been making significant strides in the mobile gaming arena, emphasizing its commitment to becoming more than just a console brand. This dedication is further exemplified through its collaboration with Backbone, a well-known game peripheral manufacturer, to launch a new mobile-focused controller, the Backbone One: Xbox Edition. Priced at a recommended retail price of $109.99, this controller will be available for purchase directly from Backbone and through Best Buy Drops.
The Backbone One: Xbox Edition catches the eye with its distinct Xbox branding and a striking semi-translucent green design, reminiscent of the classic Xbox aesthetic. It features the familiar XYBA buttons and the iconic Xbox logo, making it instantly recognizable to fans. Currently, this controller is designed to be compatible with USB-C devices, catering to Android users and potentially some iOS devices in the future, depending on the outcome of EU legislation mandating USB-C ports.
The aesthetic appeal of the Backbone One: Xbox Edition, with its transparent plastic casing, is undeniable and likely to attract fans of Xbox and GamePass subscribers. However, the $109.99 price tag might be a deterrent for some potential buyers. While significantly less than the cost of an Xbox console, which typically retails for over $400, the premium pricing for a branded mobile controller could be a hurdle for budget-conscious gamers.
Nonetheless, Xbox's push into the mobile gaming sector is unmistakable. For those interested in exploring what Xbox has to offer on mobile, check out our curated list of the top 10 best Xbox Game Pass releases for Android!
