In the realm of mobile gaming, Xbox has been making significant strides, reinforcing its commitment to extending the Xbox experience beyond traditional consoles. This ambition is clearly reflected in their latest collaboration with Backbone, a leading game peripheral manufacturer, to introduce a mobile-focused controller: the Backbone One: Xbox Edition. Priced at a recommended retail of $109.99, this controller is set to be available directly from Backbone and through Best Buy Drops, catering to the growing mobile gaming community.
The design of the Backbone One: Xbox Edition immediately catches the eye with its Xbox branding and a striking translucent green aesthetic. It features the familiar XYBA buttons and Xbox icon, seamlessly blending the iconic Xbox look with mobile functionality. Currently, the controller is compatible with USB-C devices, which includes Android phones and potentially some iOS devices in the future, pending EU legislation that may mandate the use of USB-C across all devices.
**Is the price a barrier?** The Backbone One: Xbox Edition undeniably boasts a stylish design, especially with its eye-catching transparent plastic casing. This might particularly appeal to avid Xbox Game Pass users who are keen on enhancing their mobile gaming experience. However, at over $100, the price could be a significant consideration for some potential buyers. While an Xbox console itself is considerably pricier at over $400, the cost of this branded accessory might still be a deterrent for those on a tighter budget.
Despite this, Xbox's push into the mobile gaming sector is undeniable. For those interested in exploring what Xbox has to offer on mobile, our list of the top 10 best Xbox Game Pass releases for Android is a great place to start.
