The mobile gaming experience has improved significantly in recent times and surprisingly, everything indicates that this will continue to be the case. Partly because the performance of these devices already gives more games (never better to say) for more demanding titles, but also because of the expansion of services that allow us to play on mobile, but that the load falls on another system, whether in cloud gaming. services such as GeForce NOW or Xbox Cloud or on our own devices such as Remote Play in the case of PlayStation.

To enhance the smartphone gaming experience, and with a very special eye on this type of platform, we can find such interesting designs on the market as the Razer Kishi V2, which, adapted to the phone, you practically turn it into a portable console. Using this type of device on a phone with a large screen and a good internet connection is, and I’m speaking from personal experience, something more than recommended.

When it comes to controls, there is no debate, Sony set the standard with the PlayStation 5 DualSense. So much so that Phil Spencer himself, the boss of Xbox, declared after its launch that Sony did a spectacular job. So why not bring the DualSense experience to this burgeoning mobile remote control market?

This is what the PlayStation Backbone proposes, although we must clarify that it only partially does so, and regardless, what makes DualSense unique is its haptic technology. In other words, what this controller offers us is an aesthetic replica, adapted to the context, of the PlayStation 5 controller, which, yes, is officially licensed by Sony, the main advantage of which is that its integration with Remote Play and Sony games will be practically transparent .

Initially available in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Italy, SpainSweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, spine decided to debut an iPhone versionalthough we can see it on his website the Android version is already available for purchasealthough the first deliveries are not expected until November this same year. As a slightly more conservative option, it is also possible to sign up for a waiting list when the Android model is already available on the market. Its price? At the moment there are no differences between the two platforms, €119.99.
