Q: QuestionCan I play on the backbone as someone else plays on the Xbox console?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYou can use Backbone to play XBOX games on your phone only if you have XBOX Game Pass Ultimate with cloud gaming. You will also need a decent internet connection. I play older games like Fable III and Crackdown 3 on my backbone. Backbone has a browser that costs $29.99 per year. This service is not required to have to use Backbone.Answered by RLDee

Its cool!!
Okay. So, I think I would like this more if I had a phone with a larger screen. Thats not the Backbone’s fault so let me focus on the BB. Tgis does its job well. Ill start with button feel. I am an XBox gamer mostly. I love the style of the Xbox controller with the offset sticks. What I DONT like about the XBox controller is the clicky buttons and clicky DPad. And this is where the Duel Sense PS5 controller comes in, the buttons here on the BB feel more like the PS, quiet. ABXY has a slight click but they are quiet clicks. The DPad is a soft quiet press just like the PS5’s. I like that softer press. And the shoulder buttons are like the PS’s Duel Sense too. So the BB gets a win for buttons feeling like Playstation and a win for the sticks being offset like the XBox controller. Because of the compactness of the BB, the buttons to the sticks are right above and below one another; much like the Switch joycon. So admittedly, you hands may cramp a bit after extended play. And the sticks are also about the size of the joycon sticks, small. But its suppose to be compact so I get it. I used streaming Gamepass with this and I must say, after about 4 hours trying the BB out, I had ZERO latency and the gameplay was surprisingly smooth, no frame drops or nothing. I do have good internet so that is a factor. So I like this thing, I really do. If you got to game on the go, this is probably the best compact option. I looked into the Razer Kishi and I think the BB has the edge. I got this for today, BlackFriday at a discount; its normally 100 bucks but I got it for $70. I think 70 is a fair price. I think 100 is just too mich and I would have been upset if I spent $100. So guys this is a go if you get a sale, but unless you just absolutely have to play games on your phone, dknt pay the $100. For what this does at $70. I can give it a B+. The cramped hands lowers that score for me.

Better than getting a separate gaming unit.
Was going to buy a separate gaming unit, and for about a $100 I can use my phone to game with this well built controller. And it comes with free game trials.
