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.

Purchased over the Christmas holiday for my teenage son. Much more versatile than a traditional game console, and he’s able to play his favorite games while on the go. Good purchase - Mom’s always right!

The backbone has been such a game changer and I’ll keep using it until it completely breaks.

Very easy to set up and get going. My son loves this.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am loving this Backbone!! FYI backbone does charge a yearly fee of $50 to get online and then for the XBox, I have my yearly gold account which next time I have to get gamepass and that might be a higher yearly fee. For me it's worth it. I love using my backbone when I'm not home or I want to do minor game stuff in bed.

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.

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!

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!!!

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......

Love the backbone. Fits my phone great. Great for streaming games or playing phone games. Highly recommend.

This is a simple to use travel device. My son played it and says it was easy to connect.

I thought it’s gonna be a mid item but I never ever play games on my phone before now I enjoy it with this device got great cartogary of games it was amazing experience.

So it’s not bad of a product but i have to remove my phone case to use it, if you have a camera protector that as well and if you have a pro max model you need the slightly hidden hard to get out adapter overall not great first impression. Downside unless you’re doing cloud gaming it won’t have to much use besides few games so its kinda overpriced idk really wanted to love it just has too many negatives to justify its pry getting returned sadly.

The backbone was a gift for my son for christmas. It has completely replaced him playing his switch or iphone on long rides in the car. A must have for xbox game pass users.

Exactly what you think. Easy on the go gaming. I can play mobile games, remote play Xbox, Playstation, and some PC games. Its an easy grab when running out the door or packing for a trip.

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......
