Backbone is designed for use on iOS and Android devices. It seamlessly connects to smartphones, turning them into portable gaming consoles. For optimal performance and compatibility, ensure your device runs the latest version of its operating system.

Backbone does not require an internet connection for basic functionality. However, many games played with it may need online access for updates, multiplayer modes, or additional content. A stable internet connection is recommended for full feature access.

Backbone supports a wide range of iOS and Android games. Its best features are optimized for games that support controller input. Check each game's compatibility settings or app store descriptions to confirm controller support for the best experience.

Backbone offers a free basic version that includes controller support. An optional premium subscription called Backbone+ provides extra features such as advanced game recording, cloud storage, and exclusive content, enhancing the gaming experience.

Using Backbone can impact your device’s battery life, as gaming consumes more power. The controller connects via the device’s charging port, so it has no battery of its own. To conserve battery, consider lowering screen brightness and closing unnecessary background apps while gaming.
