At Xbox, we’re about giving our fans choice so they can play the games they want, with the people they want, wherever they want. Last September, we expanded our licensed Designed for Xbox accessories to include mobile games, along with the launch of Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) on Android with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This has been an epic feat for many teams, and we couldn’t be prouder when our community plays their favorite titles on the go with their favorite mobile accessories.
Today we announce the addition of our Designed for Xbox Mobile gaming accessories to iOS devices. And with Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) available starting today for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members on Windows 10 PCs and Apple smartphones and tablets through web browsers, we’re making it easier to play the deepest, most immersive games when and where always you want.
With product launches from leading mobile accessories partners and more on the way, we can’t wait to see where fans will take their game next.
Developed for Xbox Backbone One
The backbone mobile controller, popular with fans, complements the Designed for Xbox family with the Backbone One for Xbox, which is compatible with all iPhone models with iOS 13 or higher. Backbone One transforms your iPhone to make gaming more enjoyable and effortless.
Just connect the controller to your iPhone, press the backbone button to open the app, and instantly start playing your favorite Xbox games anywhere. With internals reflecting a breakthrough in connectivity and performance, Backbone One is designed to extend battery life and reduce input latency by leveraging exclusive iPhone technology that requires no charging while also enabling incredibly responsive gaming.
As with the new Xbox Wireless Controllers, players with Backbone One can record gameplay with a simple press of the record button. The Backbone app now supports tagging gameplay from Xbox Cloud Gaming and sharing your favorite gaming moments with your friends as a link. Along with several new Xbox integrations, the app features a dynamic Xbox Game Pass feed in its redesigned user interface and an easier way to switch between your favorite iOS games and services, from Minecraft to Xbox Remote Play – all made possible by that so far biggest update of backbone.
Players who purchase the Backbone One for Xbox will get 3 months access to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (for new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members at PlayBackbone.com only) and is available today for $ 99 in select Microsoft Store markets.
