The BEST Xbox Accessory? - Backbone One Review

[@Mrlostmoniker]

What do you think of the Backbone? Is it worth the money? And have you tried remote play yet?

[@MPierce33]

So if I go to a friends house I don’t need to bring my Xbox? And if I connect to their WiFi I can play whatever game I have on my Xbox for an example would I be able to play rainbow 6 with them?

[@Mrlostmoniker]

Yes but having tested it further your internet in both your home and wherever you are needs to be solid, otherwise you’ll have severe input delay

@@Mrlostmonikerand having the Xbox on standby mode uses quite a bit of electricity….i have a backbone, still brand new in the box

[@ThomasMedrano-il6sx]

Hey bro how do I play modern warfare 3 on my backbone the one you have

[@Mrlostmoniker]

Need to have your Xbox set up for remote play and the Xbox app on your phone

[@servantofthetruth8203]

Can you play gears of war on this?

[@Mrlostmoniker]

Yes with Remoteplay you can play whatever games you have on your Xbox

[@J_TRAIN]

Can you play this when you’re not at your house? Was curious for work but didn’t know if it would work or not

[@Mrlostmoniker]

You can, but I haven’t actually tested it and if it actually works well

[@J_TRAIN]

@@Mrlostmoniker thanks bro

[@Mrlostmoniker]

I briefly tested and I had mixed results, mind you I used my phone data, if you’re going somewhere with good internet this may not be the case

[@J_TRAIN]

@@Mrlostmoniker I bought one and been playing it off a hotspot no problem bro love this thing. Appreciate the help

[@Mrlostmoniker]

Awesome man!

It’s a piece of bs I bought it a while ago, you need an app to run it other than Xbox app, it messed up your charger, half of the games need a subscription with them or Xbox game pass to play them, did I mention the app half of the time won’t load, meaning you can’t play when you want to it’s more of a gamble when you get to play. The company definitely fell off and are needing to feed off subscription, either with them or Xbox game pass, or the iPhone arcade. It’s not with the money. The switch is great it’s in lane and it’s the only thing I recommend if you want a handheld. Xbox idk what they thought with this one.

[@dexitio]

Did I mention that it messes up your charger?? It’s not that stable, I mean it is stable but not worth the charger port. It rough on it and after a while will damage your phone. So 0/10

[@dexitio]

One last thing, it kills your battery extremely quick. I played for one hour on my battery life of 88%, only got an hour in when it prompted me to charge my phone cause I was at 20%

[@Mrlostmoniker]

I have not had any of these issues, the Backbone app does need to be installed but it didn’t infringe on me playing without a subscription at all
