If the limited edition sells out, there are still regular Backbone One controllers available for purchase, available in PlayStation white or Xbox-esque carbon black finishes.
When it comes to gaming on the go, options like playing Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Death Stranding on newer iPhone models, exploring Netflix’s diverse library, or accessing a variety of games on anime streaming service Crunchyroll make investing in a gaming controller like the Backbone One a worthwhile choice.
