Backbone, a well-known mobile controller manufacturer, announced that it has cooperated with Sony PlayStation to launch a PS version of the special version of the handle “Backbone One – PlayStation Edition”, allowing players to play PS console games directly on the iPhone through streaming.

This iPhone control handle is authorized by Sony. The appearance refers to the white and black two-color design of the PS5 DualSense wireless controller, and with the △○□⨉ buttons familiar to PS players, the built-in UI interface is also similar to the PS5 host.
