How does Xbox Remote Play work?
Yup, Xbox Remote Play requires you to log into an Xbox console. It can be any console--whether you own it, rent it, or borrow it, that decision is up to you. No console? No problem. Every purchase of the Backbone One includes trials to the most popular cloud game streaming services, including Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate allows you to play hit Xbox games like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. Learn more here at backbone.com/gamepass
The Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and the Xbox One all support Xbox Remote Play capabilities. Own an older generation model of Xbox? No worries, there are many cloud streaming services that don’t require a console to play recent game titles like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. Learn more at backbone.com/platforms
Any game installed on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, or Xbox One can be played remotely. You can even download new games remotely through the Xbox app. Don’t feel like waiting? Try streaming the title using Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Note: Games running via backwards-compatibility from Xbox 360 or earlier generations are not yet supported.
Yup. To play a game remotely, you must have it installed on your console. Don’t worry, if you forgot to download a game before you left the house, you can also download new games on your console through the Xbox app.
Nope! That’s the beauty of Xbox Remote Play. So long as you have a stable internet connection with your phone via wi-fi or cellular data, your Xbox is accessible anywhere. Play from the couch at grandma’s house or from the beach on a remote desert island.
Xbox Remote Play works in over a dozen countries with more being introduced all the time by Xbox. To see the current list of supported regions see https://www.xbox.com/regions/
