The Backbone One mobile controller: PlayStation Edition is now available for Android

Backbone One – The PlayStation Edition controller, made by Sony and Backbone, is now available for Android.

Last July, the two companies teamed up to release an iOS version of the controller with a Lightning port. The idea of ​​a Backbone Controller is to slide your phone into its extended grip and play games.

The iOS and Android versions of the Backbone One – PlayStation Edition resemble the Sony console’s DualSense controller. This means that users can use PlayStation glyphs instead of traditional ABXY commands.
