Customer Ratings & Reviews

In my opinion; this was a great buy. It was easy to set up. Connected to my iPhone without issues. The dislike: I think the subscription is too much. But other than that, I will buy another.

This is an amazing gaming device that works amazing you don’t have to get the app it comes with and it works with other gaming apps and is a mini PlayStation and mini Xbox that is way better than the expensive consoles I recommend buying this.

A great device for playing games on the go. Some aspects of it are clunky but wouldn’t make me turned off by it. I love the way it feels in hand, but some parts feel a bit cramped and putting it on and off can be something of a hastle. But I would suggest it over using the screen as a controler any day!

My kids love the game controller and best buy is my go to for the game tools. thanks again

I was on a trip and was excited to be able to play my Xbox games whenever I desired with BackBone. When I got it all set up I was highly disappointed. It was not user friendly unless you use the subscription. Do you know how many other subscriptions I already have? I am not interested in paying for another when I already invested in quite a bit in a product. I ended up using it once and returning backbone when I got home from my trip. Also didn’t like that I had to take my phone case off.

my husband loves this! he frequently travels out of state for work and this is a much easier solution than lugging an entire system around

This is my “go-to” accessory for mobile gaming. I connect to my XBox when I’m out and have a bit idle time, and I play “Vampire Survivors”. Connects easy enough to my iPhone 14 Pro Max and haven’t had any issues.

Love this product!! We found it easy game with the Microsoft gaming pass using the backbone with our iPhone. The phone stay securely attached to the backbone without slipping out of position.

Really cool and easy to use. Just plug your phone into it and now you have a handheld gaming device

Perfect for the getaway gamer. Easy to use and control reactions are identical to console, no delay in controls; however depending on what internet service you have will dictate any lag you may have.

Great product. Makes gaming on the go very easy and fun. App is great to use. Only problem with the use of the product is playing on a screen is very small because of the frame ratio. And some inputs sort of lag, other than that no issues with the product.

Was considering a switch or steam deck but this thing paired with Xbox Game pass is so sweet. Graphics are awesome with Xbox Cloud gaming as long as you have a good wifi connection. Also works super well with Steam Remote Play.

Not bad, at first I was a little disappointed but after I got the cloud to work for me I’m actually impressed. It does what it says. I like it a lot now. Specially when I’m working out of town and I can’t take my console with me.

Works great with Cod:M amd Diablo: Immortal. I would get the newer version, which can supposedly be used with phone csses still on. You have to tale the case off to use this version.

The Backbone is great, BUT.....Best Buy????? I bought a total of 3 & the advertiseing shows that they come with a free Ultimate Game Pass for 30 days. WELL, I only received 2 of the digital fee game passes. When i spoke to the on line customer service, i was tolk that since I ordered 2 in one order, i only could get 1 per order. I explained that each was suppose to get one because it did not state that you only get 1 per entore order. So i asked the online customer service person. So you want me to have to return one just to turn arround & buy it again so I can get my game pass like advertised??? The customer service rep said yes....I said that is stupid & informed her that is FALSE ADVERTISING......

Really good for a road trip! Also can plug your phone charger. Make sure you see the labels because they are lightning charger and the regular charger model

Awesome for downtime or cardio at the gym or really just anywhere away from home, not to mention worth every dollar when compared to more expensive alternatives!!!

Definitely a great portable want to take your XBOX with you it does not upset can be used with steam and other setups it is a great item highly recommend for the price cant be beat.....again Best Buy will match any price out there Definitely recommend......

Cool item second time buying it and it’s still not my thing, only because you have to remove your case if you have one on your phone. It’s ok I have a PlayStation Portable

Turns my iPhone into my Xbox. I didn’t buy the subscription since I have the cloud gaming with Xbox
