Post Malone, the chart-topping rapper and now actor, is diving into the world of handheld gaming with a new collab.
His latest venture involves a collaboration with Backbone, a company known for its innovative mobile gaming controllers. This partnership is definitely interesting, but some are left wondering what the point of the collaboration is.
Backbone Controllers and Their Role in Mobile Gaming
Central to this collaboration are the Backbone controllers, a key component in transforming mobile gaming experiences. The company has earned a reputation for its high-quality, ergonomic controllers that enhance gameplay on smartphones. These add-on gadgets have become rather popular in recent years for mobile gaming since the touch controls on the devices often tend to take up half the screen. A controller attachment makes the mobile gaming experience far better.
$200 is unacceptable for a horrible brand of controller.

The controller costs $200, which has been turning a few heads, given that the Nintendo Switch Lite costs the same for the entire handheld console. Others are questioning the randomness of these two entities collaborating for this special edition device.
Designed to provide console-like controls on mobile devices, these controllers have become a favorite among gamers looking for a more immersive experience on the go. They also seem to be a relatively popular alternative to handheld consoles such as the Nintendo Switch and the Steam Deck.
The Backbone controllers offer a seamless connection to iOS devices, making them accessible to a wide range of gamers who prefer the flexibility of mobile gaming without compromising on control and performance. With features like clickable analog sticks, responsive buttons, and a built-in capture button for sharing gameplay moments, the controllers massively elevate the mobile gaming experience.
One of the standout features of the brand is its integration with the Backbone app. This app acts as a central hub for all your gaming needs, allowing you to launch games, record gameplay, and even chat with friends. It supports a wide range of popular mobile games and is compatible with cloud gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming and Google Stadia. This makes it easy to access and play a variety of games without the need for additional hardware.
Post Malone Has Had Another Collaboration This Year
Post Malone’s involvement in the 2024 movie Roadhouse marks a significant leap into the world of film for the artist. Known for his rap music career, the artist has also expanded his creative horizons to include acting and other entrepreneurial efforts in recent years.
Post Malone didn’t play a major character in the film. Instead, he portrayed Carter Ford, a formidable fighter in the opening scene. We see Carter dominate his opponent in an underground fight ring.
The film, set against the backdrop of a gritty and high-octane narrative, allows him to delve into a character that resonates with the intensity and raw emotion he brings to his musical performances. He also contributed a song titled Horsepower to the film’s soundtrack. The song plays during the opening scene featuring Carter’s fight and again during the credits.
Beyond music, movies, and gaming, looks like Post Malone’s involvement in other mediums isn’t stopping anytime soon.
