Backbone 2026 Lineup: New Xbox, PlayStation, and Limited Edition Mobile Controllers

January 21, 2026 Posted by Bill Loguidice News, Sale No Comments

Backbone has a new lineup for 2026, focused on automatically transforming your smartphone into a handheld gaming console. According to the company, the ultimate gaming session is no longer confined to the four walls of your bedroom, so bring all your favorite games – Fortnite, Call of Duty, GTA, and Madden – with you, wherever you go! 

We’ll be providing reviews for some of these products going forward, but expect the same great quality as always from the company. And don’t forget about the Kith x Backbone collab.

Backbone is a cult-favorite for serious gamers and casual gamers alike; see below for specific product details on the lineup:

Backbone’s Xbox Edition – Starting at $99.99: From casual cloud play to pro-level performance. The Xbox Edition lineup includes options built for on-the-go Xbox gaming, with plug-and-play compatibility for Xbox Cloud Gaming and Game Pass, and a pro-tier model featuring precision sticks and hall-effect triggers for console-quality control.

Available at Backbone, Amazon, and Best Buy.
