Xbox has been making significant strides in the mobile gaming arena, aiming to establish itself as a versatile gaming identity rather than just a console platform. This ambition is evident in their recent collaboration with Backbone, a leading game peripheral manufacturer, to launch a mobile-focused controller.

Introducing the Backbone One: Xbox Edition, a stylish addition to mobile gaming gear. Priced at a recommended retail of $109.99, this controller will be available directly from Backbone and through Best Buy Drops. The design proudly showcases Xbox's signature XYBA buttons, the iconic Xbox logo, and other familiar elements, all wrapped in an eye-catching translucent green casing.

Currently, the Backbone One: Xbox Edition is compatible with USB-C devices, catering to Android users, and possibly some iOS devices in the future should EU legislation mandating USB-C ports come into effect.

The allure of the Xbox Edition Backbone is undeniable, especially for those enamored with the aesthetic of translucent plastic. It's particularly appealing to avid users of Xbox Game Pass and other similar services. However, the $109.99 price tag might give some potential buyers pause. While significantly less than the cost of an Xbox console, which typically exceeds $400, the premium pricing for a branded accessory could be a deterrent for some.

Despite the pricing concerns, Xbox's move into mobile gaming is undeniable and impressive. If you're curious about their mobile offerings, don't miss our roundup of the top 10 best Xbox Game Pass releases for Android!
