About this product
To celebrate 25 years of Xbox, we're introducing Backbone Pro Xbox 25th Anniversary Edition: a limited Backbone Pro release inspired by the moments, memories, and milestones that shaped a generation of play. This special edition ships in three heritage colorways, each bringing a different piece of Xbox history into a controller built to look like the past and play like the future. Crystal Clear, Iconic Blue, and Bold Orange each nod to the early years of Xbox, when controllers and consoles felt like objects worth collecting, showing off, and remembering. Each controller comes in a blind box, so you won't know which colorway you've received until you open it. Designed for Xbox, the Backbone Pro Xbox 25th Anniversary Edition is an Xbox you can take anywhere. Play your favorite games on your phone, PC, tablet, laptop, smart TV, and more, and switch between them instantly. No pairing menus. Just tap and play. With the Backbone app, your gaming library, cloud gaming, and remote play services come together in one unified experience. Built with full-size ALPS thumbsticks, hall-effect triggers, laser-etched grips, rear buttons, and industry-leading ergonomics, Pro delivers precision and comfort for long sessions. Connect wirelessly via Bluetooth with up to 40 hours of battery life, or plug in with USB-C.
