The Backbone One PlayStation Edition also has a 3.5mm stereo headset jack with microphone support, for accessing in-game chat.

The Backbone One PlayStation Edition works great with mobile games that you can download from Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store, but it also supports playing PS5 games through the Remote Play app. The Backbone app will organize your gaming library and streaming services in one place, and with the included free one month of Backbone+, you can try premium features such as Smart Record that will let you record and share gameplay video and screenshots. The Backbone One PlayStation Edition also comes with a free three-month subscription to Apple Arcade, which offers an extensive library of mobile games across different genres.

For playing games on your smartphone in your spare time, such as during your daily commute or your break hours, you can’t go wrong with the Backbone One PlayStation Edition.

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
