This collaboration is not only a major surprise for gaming fans but also a collectible that beautifully merges design with functionality.
The design of the controller draws inspiration from the game’s protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges, and the group known as Drawbridge, centering on the desolate world they inhabit to visualize themes of exploration and resilience. The color palette resonates with the game’s atmosphere, exuding a unique sense of futuristic calm. Whether tackling any mission or challenge, this piece of equipment in the player’s hands embodies absolute practicality and style.
Each controller comes with a specially designed collectible hard case, crafted from sturdy materials. The outer box features intricate detailing of the Death Stranding logo and includes a unique serial number, enhancing its overall collectible value. Accompanying the case is a commemorative tag that resonates with the symbols within the gaming world, allowing players to not just own a piece of gaming merchandise, but to feel as if they possess a piece of information from the realm of Sam.
In terms of functionality, this controller inherits Backbone's signature high compatibility, supporting multiple streaming platforms, including Apple Arcade, GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna, and PC gaming platforms. The most enticing feature is its full support for PlayStation Remote Play, allowing gamers to connect to their PS console anytime through their iPhone or Android phone, and enjoy a top-notch gaming experience. With its lightweight and portable design, this controller is perfect for avid gamers on the go or those looking to enhance their mobile gaming experience.
Limited to only 1,350 units globally, each priced under US$160, this product will officially launch on the Backbone official online store. Interested gamers should seize the opportunity; this collaboration isn't just about product release, but rather a shared presentation of game experience and design aesthetics between two creative entities.
