Yes and no.
Backbone One unlocks a world of possibilities for all types of gameplay experiences. You do not need a PC or Xbox console to play hundreds of great controller-compatible games. However, PlayStation remote play and Xbox remote play do require a console to play. Whereas Xbox Cloud Gaming does not as you can stream directly to your phone with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription - no console required!
Please note that a Backbone+ Subscription is required to launch Xbox Cloud Gaming from the Backbone App.
The Apple App Store also offers hundreds of great controller-compatible games to dive into and there are various cloud and remote play options available for players to access Xbox console and PC games without needing to own either.
