Last year, Backbone introduced a special Death Stranding edition of its Backbone One mobile controller. This limited-edition controller was created in collaboration with Kojima Productions to celebrate the video game’s launch on the Apple App Store. Now, over a year later, they have teamed up again with the game developer (and PlayStation) to bring out a unique edition based on the sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.

Features and Compatibility

The Backbone One Death Stranding 2 Edition is modeled after the Backbone One PlayStation Edition, which can be found on Amazon for $99. Instead of the usual ABXY action buttons, this version features triangle, circle, cross, and square buttons. Like both the standard version and the Xbox Edition, this special controller works with Android smartphones and iPhones that have a USB-C port.

Design Details

This new controller showcases a blue translucent faceplate. It also comes with a blue aluminum D-pad, action buttons, shoulder buttons, and triggers. The back of the controller is blue too, but it isn’t translucent and has a different hue. Additionally, there’s a yellow translucent clamp that displays the logos of Backbone and Drawbridge on the front, while the game’s title is printed on the back.

Limited Availability

Only 1,350 units of the Backbone One Death Stranding 2 Edition will be made, and each one includes a commemorative collector’s tag and a numbered rugged collectible case. Apart from its unique colors and the included extras, this controller is functionally the same as the standard edition.

The Backbone One Death Stranding 2 Edition works well with PlayStation Remote Play and various cloud gaming services like GeForce Now, Amazon Luna, and Apple Arcade. Priced at $159.99, it is somewhat expensive, especially since it doesn’t come with a free copy of the game like last year’s edition did. The controller will be available for purchase starting November 5 at 9 AM PDT from Backbone, the Kojima Productions Store, and Best Buy Drops.
