For about 6 months I’ve been using this to remote play into my PS5. I’ve taken it to 4 countries and clocked dozens of hours with it. I think it goes without saying to NOT play online multiplayer games but for story based games it’s one of a kind. Slight latency but nothing insurmountable. Highly recommend it
Good review! Can you use this with an iPhone that has an OtterBox case? Also, can I continue playing any of my PlayStation or Xbox games, picking up where I left off on my memory
@@OgDj2024 with a Otterbox case might be a little big but it maybe can work on the Gen 2 version, but that’s a maybe, and yes you are able to continue where you left on your PlayStation or Xbox games using PS Remote Play, Xbox Remote Play or Xbox Cloud Gaming just gotta sign into your account and make sure your consoles are always left in rest mode & connected to the internet. So that you can access them on the go. Also you might want to try the Gen 2 version that is compatible for your phone rather it’s lighting port or usb c or you can try the Scuf nomad controller also I did a review on that too on my channel.
WOW! First of all, I would like to say thanks for the quick reply. I think you may be the first RUclipsr to ever reply to me that fast. Maybe you should also give a RUclips tutorial, teaching other RUclipsrs on how to reply to people that ask them questions. Second of all, thanks for the info because it was very helpful. I’ve been doing a lot of research on this controller, and at first, I was very skeptical, but your answers definitely are helping me make my decision to get one of these. RESPECT! ✊🏾
@ You welcome 🤗 no problem, yeah I try my best to engage with all the comments I get highly appreciated it, because without anyone asking questions then I wouldn’t be here where I am at, plus I enjoy answering the comments. Yeah the backbone is a great controller I still have gen 1 and I do use all the time also even when I travel just to play some small games
You can still use it with out a PlayStation, you can play Apple Arcade, iOS games, Xbox cloud gaming, Steam, and a few more, you just plug your phone up to the backbone controller, and download the backbone app then go through the setup steps
Nope 👎🏽 I have iPhone 14 Pro Max and I take my case off, it’s still a snug fit and you should be good where it won’t scratch your lens cause it come with a adapter in the box to help give the pro model iPhone more room
i dont know why but im on the same network like it saids & when i try to connect after doing everything it requires, it keeps saying “remote play dosen’t have access to local network” like wtf else do i have to do?
Did you set your PS5 or PS4 to be primary on your PlayStation account inside the Playstation settings on console, and make sure you put your console in test mode, it can’t be turned off has to be in rest mode
@@Alex-wx4hn the gen 2 is compatible with the iPhone 12 you just gotta select lighting on the website , I have a link 🔗 in the video of the description
@@cherob1984 idk if they offer that any more! That was prior to it coming it out, but if you purchase it, I think it’s in the box that and gives you one year free but not too sure cause I didn’t buy the gen 2 version I have version 1
I am confused between gamesir x3 and backbone gen2, the backbone app is much better than the gamesir, but the gamesir x3 comes with a color fan, I want both of these features. so can I put a fan cooling with the backbone or you suggest another controller ?
Can someone please explain to me if i can play my ps5 games on this thing without me being beside my ps5 or out the house cuz i really wanna take it with me to anywhere and still play my games
Yes 🙌🏽 you can! It uses your cell phone network you just plug your phone into the controller go through the setup process, if you want all the features then you gotta subscribe to the service it’s yearly! Make sure your PS5 is setup for remote play! And download the PS Remote Play App
So if I buy the backbone app I’ll be able to play my ps5 games on the go? Tried to put my ps5 on rest mode but when I left my house and tried to remote play my ps5 on my iPhone app it wouldn’t connect because of the WiFi network. Thought I could play with cellular data
Yes you can play with cellular data, but gotta leave your PS5 in rest mode and make sure that in the settings it is set to still have access to the internet in your settings. And you will be fine but if you want to use other features with the backbone controller yeah then you gotta pay for the subscription but you do get 1 year free before they charge you. But make sure you update your phone apps and your phone be up to date also update your PS5 makes sure that’s updated a new update came out and have it set to primary for PS remote play, also toggle that setting on in the settings so it will connect. Then you can still play your PS5 on the go with out backbone app if you want to.
With streaming on RUclips vs Twitch it just depends on your audience, if you got a good audience on one platform might as well stay there and continue to grow, but when I streamed on RUclips it was very easy setup depends on what you are doing but I enjoy both they both were good
Great video, i just got the playstation backbone works great,but will games from playstore i have in this app stop working from app to play if i do not get sub.
Yes, you can play it online using the backbone, just all depends on what platform your playing from, but you should be able to access it on PS5, Xbox or PC
Yeah kinda, but the app is subscriptions based to use all the features, then depends on what apps or console you have to play those games some are free and some prolly cost, but does work fine and using your phone, Version 2 works with a case on your phone but has to be slim
I have the Xbox backbone 1, and I have a doubt. Is there any use of the app if I don't have a console & xbox pass? Do I get to use any games that I won't get without the app subscription? Hope u reply ❤
You can always use to to play mobile games I don’t got a Xbox either but I have Xbox Cloud Gaming that is free, you can use it with Steam, Amazon Luna, Nvadia, google stadia, google playstore, if you have PlayStation you can use it with PS Remote play if you got iPhone there is also Apple Arcade and many others
@@CraytonTv But the issue is xbox cloud gaming isn't available in my country. Can u please explain in detail or share a video about the other apps you told. Also when I open the backbone app most the games on their are paid on need a console to play, I thought you would get the games for free with the subscription.
@@advaidh_ the subscription for the backbone gives you access to all the features. Now some games are free, but depending on your mobile device you have rather it’s Android or iPhone you will have to download them from your App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and the other apps that work are Steam Link, Amazon Luna, Google Stadia, Nvadia GeForce, Rainway but if you have a console you can also use Xbox Game Pass or PS Remote Play but to play their games you will need their subscription so you can get the free ones they have. Or use Xbox Cloud Gaming that is free you download it from the Internet
Bro, I’m trying to see if this is worth buying not to message and find friends, but is it good at playing video games and can I play the campaign to video games?
It’s good at playing videos games if you going to use it, with your phone to have controller support but you just gotta get use to the controller to play games. So if you using it to play PS4 or PS5 or Xbox or Apple Arcade or Apple App Store or Google Play store or Steam or etc it’s good allows it to work being connected to your phone but you just gotta get use to the controller, I had used it for Apex Legends and was dominating waiting on the new COD Mobile to come to play cross platform with console and pc but it just all depends on your games you play
Well if you don’t have a PS5 then you should have a PS4 for PS Remote Play and for Xbox you don’t need a Xbox you just have to sign up for Xbox Cloud Gaming or Xbox GamePass
@@CraytonTv Sir For Playing Ps5 Games On Backbone... Its Required To Connect Your PS5 On Your PC, Then I Can Play PS Games On Backbone With PS Remote Play. Is It True?
