Sony and the new Backbone
Sony has signed up with Backbone to make a PlayStation version of the excellent Backbone One mobile controller (weirdly with Xbox-like analog stick arrangement) for iPhone that’s available now from Backbone and Best Buy. The $99.99 controller, which can be pulled open to fit iPhones as small as the 13 Mini and as big as the 13 Pro Max, comes in a new mix of white and black, just like the PS5’s DualSense controller. Keep in mind that Sony has promised to bring several games from its PlayStation catalog to mobile between now and 2025 so until you have your favorite game available we Remote Play, Sony’s mobile app that streams games from your PS4 or PS5 console.
Check out the IGN trailer.

Stray
I'm pretty sure you've heard the name but did you know that it strikes down God of War as Steam’s best-reviewed game? Stray, the debut title from French developer BlueTwelve Studio and LA-based publisher Annapurna, has been infectiously popular ever since its first reveal in 2020 (development started way back in 2015). Letting the players walk around a cyberpunk-styled city as an unnamed cat, accompanied by a friendly robot drone, Stray is now the most well-regarded game of 2022 based on Steam user reviews. Meanwhile don't forget to check out the new stray mod for DOOM. And yes, surely it does have its problems but you wouldn't mind that when you get to scratch everything you see?
