I just purchased one on Amazon. I’ve been holding out for the 2nd gen version since they now work with my case.
didn’t even cover the delta emulator app in the app store now, this will make that whole experience so much nicer
Yes great point! I need more time to play around with it but might post a short about it soon!
@@jamesleeshin can’t wait to see it, been wanting to buy one so bad but can’t justify the price 😮
Nice one, literally just bought one for Steam Link and PS Remote play 🙏
You’re going to love it!
Amazing video!
Thank you!!
I don’t have a back bone I ended up going with the portal because I’m using the iPhone 13 mini haha. But from what I heard this works great. I’m definitely gonna buy one for my nephew he has a big phone that’ll benefit from this. Have you seen the razer one for the newer iPad mini’s. That’s tempting to buy for my iPad mini. Good video. New subscriber now
I just looked it up, is it the Razer Kishi? That actually looks really tempting since I also have the iPad Mini! Appreciate you subscribing
@@jamesleeshin yea that’s it! Thing looks good! iPad looks good when it’s attached too. Can’t wait to see if you get it haha
oh nice product, and good review man. I was looking for a gift for my lil brother who already uses PS5 remote but is always complaining about controlling with the touch screen. Thanks man! (I might actually end up buying another one for myself haha)
It’s honestly a great purchase if you game a lot on your phone!
I see on the Backbone app that you can play Steam games as well. Do you need the subscription to use that feature or is it free?
Yes all streaming apps ps Xbox and steam
Stupid question, but the games you want to play still need to be downloaded off the app store, right? It's not like a bunch of games preloaded on the controller?
Neither actually. It’s remotely mirrored off your console.
Annual fee to access free features ...
40 dollars a year.. 🤢
@jes6628 it's not really a bad price for stuff that can be useful for your use case. It's probably the highest quality phone controller, one of that offers stuff that would be similar to PSN and Xbox Live. You pay for the subscriptions if that's your thing. Or just don't use it at all. They need to be able to afford their servers and bandwidth usage for that stuff.
People often don't appreciate the effort put into those services. Most PC related services are free like Steam, Epic, Blizzard, Rockstar, but they also have other ways of covering the cost of that to support their games in parallel.
Steam makes boat loads of money off their store. It's literally a meme to spend money on steam.
Epic notably has the Fortnite cash cow.
Blizzard has their whole first party games system like the Diablo series, and World of Warcraft notably.
Rockstar with red dead redemption, and GTA.
All of those main stream games and services are just the tip of the iceberg.
PlayStation and Xbox are known to basically take some loses on their consoles and make up for it in the long term with their online services and store sales. They also have to fund RND for new consoles, their social stuff, their servers.
There's always a balance. If it offers a service, it's always going to come at a price. You're basically paying for ease of playing with friends and using remote streaming at the cost of 2 months of Netflix.
Good review dude
Thank you!!
Does it support any iOS game?
Do you need to buy subscription to play Xbox games and ps game
Nice James!!!
Thank you Jo!
I have asked this question to many users but no one has answered me, would it be possible to access with the Backbone to your PlayStation account to be able to buy and play games in the cloud? I say this for those who do not have a console, especially me.
You won’t be able to play games in the cloud without a console. Remote play basically mirrors your console output
I was about to buy this but when I saw it requires subs then I’m out
Can you use mods on games through the Backbone 1?
Yes 😂😂it’s crazy
I hated the backbone for awhile. I exclusively used for remote play and cod mobile. Over time just a hassle to bring with me and eventually deleted games off. Battery was draining faster from gaming. I couldnt use its for genshin impact. So its only purpose for cod and emulators. Biggest downside when you make your phone a gaming phone and daily phone bring a back up a charger.
I got this controller because its playstation compliant for remote play.
Eventually got a backbone for my iphone se 2nd gen. Strictly gaming phone. And take back about everything i said.
Im currently obessed with quick and easy mobile handheld gaming for emulators.
I do say backbone for iphone comes in clutch. For gaming on the go. Convience and time.
I had a gamesir x2. Enjoyed it but apps started to reject the controller.
Backbone was a standard for a lot of apps for awhile. So keep in mind will be compatible with alot of apps unlike the gamesir or razer.
Can I use this even with my ps4?
Yes
Backbone PS edition is pretty nice literally is like PS portal😂
Do you have to own a PS5 in order to play the PS Backbone version?
Nope! PS Backbone version is more for the look, the functionality is the same as the regular one. Obviously you still need a PS5 to use remote play!
Just got my portal today and it runs like a dedicated handled. I have the back bone, it’s not in the league of the portal for PlayStation games. I started to hate using the backbone. Having to tune my phone in airplane mode was a bummer so I would get notifications as I played. The portal is badass
Yeah definitely not on the level of a dedicated device like the portal if you want to play PS5 games! I will say backbone is more portable and you can use it to play mobile games too
I mean you can’t use the portal on the plane
@@ronthorn3 If the plane has wifi why can't you.
Do you need too have the console t9o play it
Everybody keeps tlkn about annual fee…it’s only like 40$ step yo bread game up
Lol
