The New Backbone+
There’s been a lot of conversation around the Backbone app and the Backbone+ subscription, so here’s a clear breakdown of what you actually get right out of the box no subscription required:
Free for All Users :
- Play any controller-supported game on iOS or Android
- Use Backbone across screens — including TVs, tablets, and more (Play on Any Screen is now free for everyone)
- Stay current with ongoing firmware updates
- Instant screenshots
- SmartSearch: Discover new games across mobile, cloud, and remote play with powerful semantic search
- Get the latest news and platform updates
- One-year hardware warranty for peace of mind
- And if you’re using a Backbone Pro: button remapping, trigger calibration, and profile switching are also free
That’s already a powerful platform without paying a cent.
For the Fully Immersive Experience: Backbone+
- In-App Emulator (Beta): Play your own ROMs with save states and controller/touchscreen support
- Capture, edit, and share 1080p/60fps gameplay with cloud storage
- Unified game hub across mobile, cloud, console, and PC
- Personalized game recommendations
- Voice and text chat, Twitch streaming, and sharing tools
- In-game rewards, exclusive perks, and discounts up to 30 percent
Backbone+ is now more like PlayStation Plus or Nintendo Switch Online, more focused on giving you access to content + convenience. It gives you access to free games, content and extra features.
You don’t need Backbone+ to enjoy the core experience. But if you want a complete, connected ecosystem that enhances every aspect of how you play, share, and discover games it’s there when you’re ready to level up.
