The new device is the perfect option for those looking to play PC or console games on the go.
The news follows the recent launch of the Backbone One – Mobile Gaming Controller for Android developed in partnership with Android, and the Backbone One for iPhone (PlayStation Edition here and other platforms here) in 2022.
