When I first saw this device, I was very ecstatic! All of the childhood games I played on Xbox and Xbox One we’re going to come true, and the opportunity to play high demand games as well! Unfortunately, it came with a pretty heavy requirement: Internet. I will say this for the others considering to buy this: this is not a PSP or GameBoy for portable gaming. I was led to believe that the Game Pass Ultimate would be “cartridges” to allow me to play games while on the go. That wasn’t the case; after redeeming my code and getting my BackBone plugged in, I came to find out that you need to have Internet to do Xbox Cloud Gaming in order to access the games. By doing so, you cannot play these games while traveling. That was my main priority. Additionally, the hard requirement of Internet is way too steep. If your Internet is not the best, I would not recommend getting this. I live in a single house with only my iPhone and my roommate’s iPhone on our Wi-Fi. Even after that, I cannot play any of the games in an efficient manner. I would rubber-band, lag, or even have messages say “your Internet connection may delay your gameplay“. At one point, my game actually forced closed me out! So if I cannot play a game without getting a lag spike every 60 seconds, this device is not worth it. Ultimately, if I couldn’t get this to work at my own private Wi-Fi, good luck using Wi-Fi at a Starbucks, library, college campus, or airplane! Very disappointed.
