FULL STORY

Popular mobile accessory maker Backbone has just unveiled a new officially licensed Xbox controller, and it might be a better choice than the Elite
Series 2 if you love cloud gaming.

The Backbone Pro Xbox Edition is available today for $179.99 via the Backbone website, Amazon, and Best Buy. It's a bright green Xbox-branded version of
the existing Backbone Pro , which is packed with specialist features that
make it perfect for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.

It's compatible with your phone via its USB Type-C connector, so you can plug it in to play native mobile titles like Zenless Zone Zero or Call of Duty: Mobile in addition to countless streamed games via Xbox Cloud Gaming.

The controller boasts Bluetooth functionality too, with more than forty hours of battery life. In wireless mode you can hook it up to your Smart TV, PC, laptop, or tablet and dive right back into your streamed Xbox games. The peripheral is fully compatible with Xbox Remote Play allowing you to stream directly from your Xbox console instead of Microsoft's servers if you prefer.

On top of this, it shares a few features with the premium Elite Series 2 pad such as remappable rear inputs. The compatible Backbone app allows you to access a wealth of settings, plus a universal game launcher that puts all
your available games in one place for easy access.

Every Backbone Pro Xbox Edition also comes bundled with a code for one month
of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, so you can dive into hundreds of titles right out of the box.

I was impressed with the standard version of the controller in my recent Backbone Pro review , where I praised the impressive level of comfort that it offers and high quality build, so this new model seems like a winner.
