Bundle the Backbone One iPhone Controller with 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate at $100

After seeing Xbox Cloud Gaming launch on iOS devices earlier in the week, Microsoft is celebrating by bundling the Backbone One Mobile iPhone Controller Grip with three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for *$99.99 shipped*. Normally that’s what you’d pay for the gamepad alone, with today’s discount throwing in an extra $45 worth of value in order to mark the best offer to date.

Backbone One enters as one of the more popular ways to imbue an iPhone with an elevated gaming experience, attaching to both sides of your handset in order to deliver a Nintendo Switch-like form-factor. Alongside two joysticks, a D-Pad, ABXY buttons, and rear triggers, its adjustable design plugs in via Lightning to work with a variety of handsets ranging from the iPhone 12 mini to 12 Pro Max. Plus with three months of Game Pass Ultimate, you’ll have access to Xbox Cloud Gaming for streaming titles alongside digital game deals, online multiplayer, and a list of free titles to play at no extra cost. Rated 4.6/5 stars and we found that it delivers “full-fledged iPhone gaming” in our hands-on review. Head below for more.
