Backbone unveils Backbone Pro controller engineered to play on any screen


Backbone announced Backbone Pro, a next-generation controller engineered from the ground up to let players game on any screen with a single device.

It pairs instantly with phones, tablets (like iPad), laptops (including MacBooks), VR headsets (such as Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro), and smart TVs like Samsung Gaming Hub even without a console — and Backbone’s FlowState Technology in the Backbone app remembers previously paired devices and connects with a tap, ensuring ensuring frictionless device switching. The Backbone team, including engineers and researchers from Apple and Google, created the smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks. As mentioned, over the last few years, Backbone went through more than 9,000 part iterations and ran over 30 user research studies using a proprietary 3D camera system to measure hand movements and analyze thousands of hours of gameplay.
