Backbone is expanding its partnership with Xbox to officially launch the Backbone One: Xbox Edition mobile game controller ($110) on March 27.

It will only be available online at launch via Backbone.com and Best Buy Drops. Inspired by Xbox’s legacy, innovation, and core identity, the Backbone One: Xbox Edition isn’t just another mobile controller – it’s an extension of Xbox itself.

Gamers can tap into their favorite games like Halo Infinite, Forza, and Indiana Jones with a press of the Xbox button. The new edition allows you to explore your favorite games with the precision, comfort, and reliability that Backbone is known to deliver.

The device is complete with transparent Xbox green, a black PCB and the iconic Xbox button. Xbox and Backbone brought this product to life with a shared vision and commitment to innovation and accessibility as they continue to create new ways for players to experience Xbox games beyond the console.
