    I was skeptical at forst but seeing how you can play Xbox, PlayStation, Steam and the app store in one place made this well worth the price. Theres also other apps that are compatible that stretch the value of this peripheral. Worth every penny for the lesure gamer looking for a time killer when not at home.

    It is a little hard to understand. Although it is compatible with the PS5 their game app and games are a little bit more complicated to figure out.

    At first it seemed like something cool to have but not being able to play the games that I like was disappointing. Check the games that you like first and then check if they fall under category of games allowing the use of backbone
