How Laggy is Remote Play on the PlayStation Backbone One Controller?

[@jaydenperez6829]

Disclaimer: your mileage may vary in terms of lag

[@TH-rx1kt]

On some occasions yes, I was 50 miles away from home playing on my Series X remotely & I barely got any lag. Just make sure you have a strong internet connection, a weaker connection can contribute to the lag.

[@field_14]

It's very costly if you're not somewhere with wifi. Until transit buses get wifi it's not a replacement for a switch but an excellent gaming option where wifi is available. Also as an addition.. emulating retro games have become more enjoyable

Lol not a replacement for a switch. Just get a steam deck nobody is tryna to play cartoonie lil kid games except for groomers and man childs. Why the hell would you play a console that gets out done by 360/PS3. With cheesy little joycons that get stick drift in seconds there's no reason to have a switch that's why I sold that trash.

[@unifiedmind]

You still gotta have your Ps5 on sleep mode and really only recommended if your playing story. Otherwise the lag is horrific.

[@MXALOVE]

A nice addon, but way too expensive. 100$ for way less features than any official controller you can get for way more money, for just the convinence of having it be attached to your phone. On sale you can buy 2 Duelsense Controllers for that price, it needs to be reduced.

[@billCosbydruggedme]

And a $50 a year membership makes it even worse

[@IllisiaAdams]

It's not just about the "convenience of adding a controller to your phone", it's about *remote play* . You are paying $99 to be able to play PS4 and/or PS5 games on your phone, *from anywhere*

[@Jake_RF]

​@Illisia Adams you don't need the backbone to use remote play. You can use a regular ps5 controller

[@IllisiaAdams]

@@Jake_RF indeed, true! You can connect standard controller via Bluetooth, right? Which costs nothing.

@Illisia Adams yeah exactly. You're paying for convenience and comfortability. I still want a back bone cause it can be awkward to set up your phone and hold the controller separately

I love it. For me, the PS Remote play is extremely smooth in my house since I have fast internet. I can say the same for Steam link too. But for some reason, Xbox’s streaming is laggy and has artifacts. I only use it in my house since I don’t really game outside my house these days.

[@g3jusfly497]

i think that xbox streaming is just laggy either way. no matter what i use on it has stutters and frame drops every once in a while, but playstation works fine

[@fopal-gang7108]

[@soppersanic6025]

Can u play it anywhere like if I want to play a ps5 game somewhere my ps5 is not near can it still work?

[@631Reaper]

Yes, but your ps5 has to be on or at least in standby mode. You can turn your ps5 off from the phone but you cant turn it on. If your console is off at home you will be unable to use it.

[@bre4d-.-]

disclaimer:if you're not on same wifi,it will be laggy,and will disconnect,also if your download/upload speed is both below 200mbps on BOTH devices,it will be laggy once again,so doesn't matter if one of your devices can do 800,if the other one is only capable for 150,it wont work,but pa5's wifi is much worse than phones,so i RECOMMEND ethernet cable into ps5 then the delay will be minimal (with a 500< mbps internet connection) and it wont be laggy+no disconnects,i think the ultimapte setup if ya'll r at home,is to have an ethernet cable into your PC connected and into ps5 too,and on pc,remote play will be elite(im recommending this setup 100% for youtubers who dont want to spend for capture card,or their ps5 is not in the PC room) ik i yapped a lot but just keep these in mind!

[@DavisFangTech]

It really depends, but my setup is far from optimal with the PS5 being in the other side of the house from the wifi router and it still works well, even over cellular

If your playing remote play and want best performance. Make sure your PS4/5 is on at least 5ghz wifi as well as your phone, do not use 2.4 to 2.4ghz wifi it makes everything choppy, If your cell provider is one of the big names (and provides you with the speed)can use LTE or 5G to play. Also not sure how true it rings but the less Bluetooth devices you use for gaming on your phone will better remote plays performance.

I am kinda getting tired of all these streamer making videos about "playstation backbone". There is nothing Playstation about it. This is not some magical playstation controller that allows you to play playstation remotely on phone. This is just a MiFi certitified mobile controller. Whether you buy black or white, they both work any remote app you like. This is just playstation licensed to have playstation look and icon, but internally your game will still think you have generic XBOX control. Please stop misleading people to think they must buy PS Backbone to play PS. They can buy either black or white, there is nothing different.
