BackBone One PlayStation Edition is now available for Android smartphones

Sony and Backbone have joined forces to unveil the Android version of its popular BackBone One PlayStation Edition Mobile Gaming Controller.

Due for release on July 6 and priced at $179, the controller has been available for iPhone since last year, but finally Android users will be able to enjoy mobile gaming with the device on the move.

The controller was created in collaboration with PlayStation and looks just like the PS5 DualSense wireless controller right down to the button design, colour, material and finish.

A PlayStation fan will recognise the look and feel of the controller right down to the transparent face buttons with the iconic symbols and floating appearance of the directional pad.

When users download the PS Remote Play app, the device is recognised as a DualSense controller so users can play your favourite PS4 and PS5 games on their Android smartphone anywhere.

The Backbone One PlayStation Edition draws its power from the Android smartphone it’s connected to so there is no need to charge it.

The BackBone One PlayStation Edition for Android is available for pre-order now through JB Hi-Fi, EB Games, Big W and The Gamesmen. It goes on sale on July 6 for $179.
