On the flipside, it can be a little confusing when using the Backbone One PlayStation Edition to play Xbox games, especially if you can't remember the Xbox button layout.

Having the circle, square, triangle and X buttons makes it perfect for PlayStation Remote Play, removing any potential confusion when performing button commands for PS4 and PS5 games. I've been using the officially licensed PlayStation Edition of the Backbone One, which features PlayStation button symbols and the same white colour scheme as the PS5 DualSense controller. If you want something a bit more demanding, you can play high-profile Xbox Game Pass releases like Halo Infinite, as well as PS5 blockbusters like God of War Ragnarok via PS Remote Play. The same is true of other more traditional games like Sonic Racing, Horizon Chase 2, and Shovel Knight Dig. This includes Yu Suzuki's on-rails shooter Air Twister, which I was unable to enjoy when relying solely on touch controls. Not only am I making better use of my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, but I'm playing far more Apple Arcade games.

The uncomplicated, easy to use nature of the device is a massive tick in the win column for the Backbone One.

Once you're plugged in, you can start enjoying all of your favourite titles from Apple Arcade, PlayStation, Xbox and even PC via the likes of GeForce Now. You don't need to charge anything, fiddle around with Bluetooth pairing or scroll through countless menu screens in order to get things working. Indeed, using the device is as simple as slotting your iPhone into the grip and connecting it to the Backbone's Lightning Port.
