Will this work with my phone case?

In most cases, no. The Backbone One is a form-fitting controller for your iPhone and to be a precision input device, it has to firmly hold on to your iPhone. As a result, you will need to remove other iPhone attachments (especially the protective cases that change the dimensions of your phone significantly).

We designed the Backbone One to avoid compromising on gameplay at all costs. We’re so confident in the improved experience of playing mobile games that Backbone One delivers, that we think players will be happy to remove their cases to enjoy Backbone’s benefits.

Do I need to own an Xbox, Playstation, or PC to use the Backbone One?

Nope! A console or computer is only required to take advantage of remote play apps offered by Xbox, Playstation, and Steam.

Backbone One unlocks a world of possibilities for all types of gameplay experiences. Between the Apple App Store, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate cloud streaming, Google Stadia, and Nvidia GeForce Now there are thousands of high quality games available to play.

Can I use the Backbone One as a controller for my iPad, Mac, or PC?

Yes, you can use the Play On Any Screen feature from within the Backbone app to use your Backbone One with any supported iPad, Mac, or PC. No need to carry around another controller!

Is the Backbone app required to use the Backbone One?

The Backbone app is not required for use of the Backbone One as a controller. However, the Backbone app offers a rich, community-driven experience that we’re sure you’ll love!

More information on the Backbone app’s features can be found.

After that, a Backbone+ membership subscription will renew annually at the then current price which varies by region. Cancel anytime.

Current prices by country can be found.

Does the Backbone One need to be charged?

No, the Backbone One does not have a battery. The Backbone One draws minimal amounts of power from the iPhone to function. Its power consumption is imperceptibly low.

That being said, games running on your phone can consume considerable amounts of power due to things like graphics, networking, and audio. Therefore, recognizing that battery life is critical to gaming on mobile devices, we’ve designed a pass-through Lightning port on the Backbone One to allow for charging your phone while playing.

Are the thumbsticks clickable?

Yes, the Backbone One has clickable L3/R3 thumb-sticks.

What games are supported?

The Backbone One offers high-quality gameplay for all your favorite games that support controllers. This includes the most popular titles like Call of Duty®: Mobile, Minecraft, Genshin Impact, and most Apple Arcade games.

In addition, the Backbone One is also compatible with remote play apps offered by Xbox, Playstation, and Steam allowing games on your console and PC to be played remotely from your phone.

Popular cloud streaming services like Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Google Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Amazon Luna are all also supported by the Backbone One.
