The closest thing to a new mobile PlayStation 🎮

If you're like me and have been wishing that Sony would bring back their mobile console options, then today you are getting at least a tad bit of relief from that stress. This may not be a new PSP or PS Vita, but it should get the job done for your mobile PlayStation needs.

PlayStation unveiled a surprise collaboration with Backbone this week.

This is the same Backbone One that many gamers have come to know and love, except this one is tailored to fit in perfectly with PlayStation's white and black aesthetic it has going with the PS5 hardware. It comes with different buttons and it even has a PlayStation logo on the back.

This thing is downright sexy, which made it very difficult to avoid purchasing. Even at the $100 price point, I ordered one as soon as I saw they were a thing.

This version is for iPhone only right now, with an Android version coming later in the fall.

The controller will be aimed directly at mobile gamers of all types. It works especially well for PS Remote Play.

The controller runs off your phone's battery, but luckily there is a charging port so you can charge your phone while playing. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio (and maybe chat too).

This means you can control your PS5/PS4 from anywhere that you have a WiFi or cellular connection.

A minimum of 5mb/s is recommended and of course, you need your console at home to be on a very stable network.

Watch my video today for even more information and footage of what the new Backbone One PlayStation Edition is like. I will be doing a full review on this thing once it arrives sometime next week, just in time for me to go on vacation.
