Can Backbone play Steam games?
Sadly, no. The Backbone is a mobile gaming controller that turns your iPhone into a more traditional gaming device. It's great for mobile games and can stream games from your console or PC through apps like Steam Link, but it doesn't directly play Steam games. It's more about enhancing your mobile gaming and streaming experience rather than running PC games natively.

Nope. Backbone's cool and all for mobile games, but it doesn't run Steam games directly. It's like expecting a bicycle to fly. You can, however, stream Steam games to your device using the Backbone with apps like Steam Link if you're into that.
Backbone can't directly play Steam games, it's not a console. But, combining it with Steam Link app turns your phone into a neat little game streaming setup. Been doing it, works like a charm for playing Steam games without being glued to the PC.
