    If you want to travel and game go for it Ps5 must be on or in rest mode. Games can be played using your phone iPhone 6 and up (there’s an adapter) may have to take your case off If you have a disk game you can play that one but if you have downloaded games thats the best way to use this. You can also connect to App Store and Xbox

    I was very excited to get this product as i use remote play on playstation alot, i thought it would be as uncomfortable for my hands like the nintendo switch but its not i can play for hours! Comes with a 1 year trial for the backbone subcription which is great. And Now to the loud buttons, they are very loud you defenitley dont wanna take this to a quiet area because you will annoy everyone lol, i like playing gta so in the game when you sprint you tend to rapidly click X and that can get annoying unless you have something drowning out the sound. Wish they could of made them alot quieter because now i cant use it at my office or ill annoy coworkers with the clicky sound. So i dont recommend it for people planning to use in quiet areas unless the game doesnt require using triangle, square, X and circle constantly. For example call of duty could work for quiet areas as you only use R2 and L2 and reload with square once in a while.

    Hands down an amazing product. I have bought 3 of them already. (For myself, my wife, and my sister) Backbone is the best option compared to the new ps5 portable and the switch. As long as you have service on your phone you can play so many games and have so much fun. You can use the remote play for the play station and can even access xbox features and of course all the mobile games like call of duty, roblox, fortnite, and even the new netflix GTA. 100% worth every penny. The attachment make every and any phone fit. Ive can fit the Samsung flip and the Samsung S23 and can also use the iphone 15. The only one that youll have to open the scteen for is the Samsung fold but the bigger screen makes the full experience better and feels like playing on a switch or the play station portable.

    Where has this been? I should have known about this sooner and made the purchase. My wife loves I can play my ps5 games while she watches her shows. I love how on the go I can be while still gaming.

    Amazing! I bought for a road-trip unaware of just how much I would love this. I use it so much now even at home. If using solely for phone games then not worth the $100, but if paired with the ps remote play or Xbox cloud gaming then definitely a must buy. Must have thin case to use with it, or you will be removing from case to play often.

    I've enjoyed the ability to game wherever I am with the Backbone. I've taken it on vacations, work trips, and used it just lounging around the house when my kids want to play the other consoles attached to the entertainment center. Highly recommend!

    Easy to use and cheaper than ps portal. The only difference is using your phone of the screen. Its nice to use when just wanting to play in bed or another room without moving your console.

    It’s a good device. Only issues I encountered was disconnecting when in use. I’d play games and it would randomly stop working for a few seconds. It may be improved later down the line. But would have kept it if it didn’t have that as an issue.

    I loved this controller, but it’s only really good if you’re primarily going to be streaming your PlayStation games. Most games don’t use the DualShock layout and don’t show the DualShock glyphs. Sucks because the design is so tight.
