For having under 200,000 your videos are very well put together, smooth transitions, great editing and very great review that is chill, super no biased, honest, detailed and non-aggressive unlike other reviewers on Here that make very in your face typed videos, just wanted to say that this review/video is very informative and helpful thanks man Definitely deserve way more subs than you have now, keep up the good work! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I used to take my switch+accessories with me everywhere I went. Now I just take my phone and controller. Remote play is freaking awesome. I play everywhere I am, even without wifi, thanks to my unlimited 5G through Verizon. Also runs really nice on my iPhone 13 PM. So thankful I found out about remote play.
Worked perfectly like the man said in the video and now I want one of those backbone controllers too but good job man thanks I’m playing Xbox games on my iPhone 12 Pro Max right now cause of this video
Public service announcement/warning: The Backbone now has a $50 yearly subscription for the app to have functionality. They do not state the cost it anywhere on their website or app store. You get the first year free then need to pay yearly. Its basically a $100 controller unless you want to cough up the extra $50 yearly. I would recommend staying away and waiting for the upcoming Razer Kishi V2 (has a free app called Razer Nexus).
I enjoyed this video. I don’t go to the comments say I enjoyed a video. This was a first and you deserved it. I also want the backbone now lol. I wonder why Xbox hasn’t made their own, to go along promoting their mobile cloud gaming.
I’m honestly so surprised how they’re even allowed to have such tight integration without being a first party Apple product. Apple almost always forces 3rd parties into using a workaround resulting in a less user friendly experience to prop up their own products (even the Xbox app gotta be a workaround lol)
Eh not really, the issue is selling games (or subscriptions) via an App Store app without letting Apple get a cut. Microsoft won't give up that cut, that's why they don't let them have a native app. Backbone is giving up that percentage to Apple. It's part of Apple Terms of Service. Hope they change that stance eventually.
The Backbone One is quite amazing. Once you connect your iPhone, it feels like one solid unit. I have Delta (an emulator that does NES, SNES, GBA, DS, N64, etc) and PPSSPP (a PSP emu) installed on my iPhone and I'll use those 2 emus to play some retro classics, but then I can jump into some XBOX cloud gaming and play current games like Halo Infinite, Back 4 Blood, Forza, Hades, etc, at 100% speed for everything!
Man I had no idea cloud play was a thing for Xbox thanks man my dads getting me one of these controllers and thought to my self I can play iOS games and had no clue Ab cloud play.
Question. Can this backbone controller still be used with the iPhone still in the casing? Or is it necessary to remove the iPhone before using the backbone controller?
I have the Android equivalent the Razor Kishi which I too highly recommend. Streaming is cool when the signal and connection is good. However, if the connection is not good with the Wifi your experience won't be as good. It is cool to use as well with games that are downloaded and loaded on the phone.
Great video bro. I know I’m kind of late to the party but appreciate how well your videos are done and all the great info. Keep up the great work, brother.
i’m sooo mad. i was thinking about getting a nintendo switch so i didn’t have to carry my xbox to college but i didn’t wanna spend 200. the second i left then i start seeing ads for this 🤦🏾♀️
@@geraldpaul1870 the instant on setting. And I guess you can remote play from your Xbox anywhere. This thing is cool but you can also just connect an Xbox controller to your phone and cast it
I just stared experimenting with this. Right now the input lag is too high and makes gameplay unrealistic. But I am excited to see how Microsoft can refine this in the future
Ehhh I am using a 1gig up 1gig down fiber connection over WiFi and input lag is too great for cloud gaming. I gave up. COD mobile and other mobile games work flawlessly but not Xbox cloud.
I had horrible experience with Xbox GamePass because of the latency and poor Wifi connection even when Im in a room with full bar but Stadia works perfect without any problems so Microsoft needs to improve on it for IPhone
Same, I bought the series X for remote play as game pass is a great deal if you have a device to play those games. Sadly remote play is just terrible. I preordered the iPhone 13 Pro Max so hopefully I’ll have a much better experience. I love stadia and truly want it to succeed but it does lack the most popular games
@@alexk2019 bruh I love it. I can use it with different games & emulators. Only think I don’t like is that it does drain the battery kinda fast but overall, it’s worth it💯
This is perfect for my stellaris playthroughs because it can be so time consuming and If I get this I can just play it on the go. There is a mobile version of stellaris but it’s just not the same as the Xbox version or the pc version.
It’s incredible how far gaming has come. Why buy a console when you can just attach this controller . Saving money big time. A console in your hands, amazing. Def getting this and nice vid 👍🏻
Does this Only let you play what's on Gamepass with Ultimate Pass ? What about Games I already ownn I can't see my Library and I can't see an Install on my iPad option either
I've figured out if you don't like the bezels on the xbox app and remote play app, on iPhone go into settings > accessibility > zoom. you can zoom the screen in slightly and chance the zoom by triple tapping the screen with three fingers.... it removes the bezels.
Do these work for normal games on android? Or is it just xbox games what are on the mobile? It's my sons bday and I want to buy him one but he plays mini football on his phone not xbox games on the phone....thanks anyone who replies
So I’m confused, when you buy it, do you have access to the games you already have? So I have an Xbox, if I get one do I log into my account and it will show all my games? Or do you have to use different games?
Microsoft is pretty select about which titles are for Cloud. If you only play Cloud games, no console is needed. He was doing a lot of streaming which is done by turning on your Xbox and playing it over WiFi.
@@queenjoa_5793 Can you find out and let me know? I don't have an XBOX at all, just want to know if I buy this and sign up for game pass can I play anything on it?
I e tried it on my iPhone and idk if it’s my controller that has the bad lag to screen but it’s super laggy even while I’m home with 400gb wifi and it’s just me at home and my wife but is there any way to make this experience better
Is it really worth playing Xbox games tho? I have a One X and Series X and we both know how nice that is. Would hate to invest in this just to be let down. I’d probably only play it on vacation
@@-___-7200 I have both, until Ps5 makes good exclusives, the games that are available for both consoles….the games look and play miles batter on the series X. It would be a complete L buying a non PS5 exclusive on the PS5. And yes, I own both. ✌️
@@Joshuajames310 I have a series X but I’m lost as to what exclusives Xbox has? There’s been almost not big games that was developed for the Xbox.

To be honest though I’m chopping at the mouth waiting for Xbox series X exclusives
So I have a question, I have been thinking to buy it but I wanted to know is, do you still have to connect your console to your iPhone in order to play games that are Xbox? Like gta 5, doom, ect in order to play it?
When I try to connect to my xbox remotly outside of my hous, I get an error, I just remember that the NAT type has a yellow icon beside, how to play my xbox outside of my house ?
Wait I’m confused cause I clicked on the link to where it takes me to purchase it and it says there a PlayStation version, if I purchase that version will it only work for ps games or will it work for both Xbox and ps versions?
I just cannot get this thing to set up, I have remote play enabled I try to connect through the app and a code is supposed to show on my tv but it doesn’t? Then I tried add existing and it said “turn your Xbox on” and it was already on and nothing happened?
You gonna need to bring a powerful fan and massive power bank with you but man i think i need this. I do Uber on the side of my regular job and sometimes i sit there for a long time
Would I be able to play Skyrim special edition on this? I’m kinda addicted to it because of two mods I play on and my switch version doesn’t have mods. Would I also be able to play on an airplane?
I have been thinking about this controller. I bring my switch everywhere I go, I hope I’m able to play my games on this backbone like Dead Space and even Scarlet Nexus and MC.
Do you need to have ultimate game pass in order to enable cloud gaming on backbone? I’m a core member and can’t connect my phone to my console. Seems silly but I’m probably forgetting something.

You have to remove the iPhone from whatever case you have on it to put it in the backbone
I use it (v1) with adnroid without taking case off. You just need slim phone.

Do we need an actual Xbox to play those games ?

No. Just get the Xbox gamepass. That have selections
Nah, just a good Internet connection... PS is the one where you need a console

pause do i have to have a acxtual xbox for this to wrok or can i just simply have the app on iphine and buy games
LOVE IT! Definitely getting one
Your filming camera is so good and your skin is glowing btw.
Would that work well if my PlayStation isn’t wired but on wifi?

I have a question for the traveling part could you still play it while flying in the air ?
does the xbox have to be on when your playing???

What’s the input lag like? I tried connecting my Xbox controller cos Bluetooth to my iPhone and the input delay just a deal breaker for
