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.
