- Backbone has revealed a limited edition Death Stranding 2: On the Beach controller
- It is a special version of the Backbone One with a unique design and carrying case
- It costs $159.99 and will be limited to just 1,350 units
If you were disappointed by the rather ordinary Death Stranding 2 DualSense Wireless Controller, released earlier this year, the manufacturer of one of the best mobile controllers might have a compelling alternative.
Backbone has just unveiled a new limited edition version of its popular Backbone One mobile controller inspired by the game. Released on November 6, it was made in collaboration with developer Kojima Productions and is limited to just 1,350 units.
It has a distinct translucent blue and yellow colorway, complete with special blue triggers and buttons. It comes packaged with a special individually numbered case to help you keep it safe while on the go and a commemorative tag.
This is not the first time that Backbone has collaborated with Kojima Productions, having released a limited edition Backbone One based on the first game.
However, this new model stands out as the brand’s first limited edition collaboration with PlayStation, the publisher of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The controller features DualSense button markings and is compatible with the PlayStation Remote Play app.
This special design doesn’t come cheap though, retailing for a whopping $159.99 (around £119.99) via the Backbone website, Best Buy Drops or the Kojima Productions Store. That’s $60 more than the standard Backbone One model and significantly more than the $84.99 / £74.99 DualSense.
Still, it’s a neat design, and considering it’s strictly available in such limited quantities, I suspect it’ll sell out quickly.
