Introducing TouchSync - The Future of Gaming with Backbone
We know the frustration of finding a great game on the Google Play Store that doesn’t support controllers. Despite our efforts to keep an updated library of controller-supported games, the disappointment is palpable when a title isn't controller-friendly.
Introducing TouchSync Controller Mapping*
Imagine being able to play your favorite touch-only games with Backbone One. That's the promise of TouchSync, our latest addition to the Backbone app on Android. TouchSync is available to Android Backbone+ subscribers and cleverly maps controller inputs to specific touch points on the screen, enabling controller support for previously incompatible games. Watch @SevyPlays test it out on Genshin Impact!
The TouchSync Features
TouchSync is in Beta
Our focus is now on guaranteeing compatibility across all devices and adding additional games to our supported lineup. Adding new titles is a complex process to ensure seamless compatibility across all devices. We’d appreciate any help identifying issues with TouchSync so we can fix them ASAP. Use the Submit feedback button in the Backbone app settings if you encounter any problems.
Groundbreaking Games with TouchSync Support
We're excited to announce that PUBG: Mobile, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail and Freefire are the first to receive curated TouchSync maps. With more games on the horizon, our team is working tirelessly to expand this list, though it's a complex process to ensure seamless compatibility across all devices.
