Blizzard and Backbone partner for better 'Diablo Immortal' experience on mobile
Blizzard optimized the gameplay in the new iPhone game "Diablo Immortal" for the Backbone One controller and will provide Backbone players with a free $10 in-game unlock.

New and existing owners of the Backbone One controller will be able to redeem the "Adventurer's Pack Premium" for free -- a $10 value. In addition, Backbone players have an optimized gameplay experience built around the controller and its features.
"Diablo Immortal" is Blizzard's first attempt at a full-length mobile game set in the Diablo universe. It officially launched on the Apple App Store on June 2 as a free download on iPhone and iPad.
