    Does it use a lot of data on the hotspot? I wanna do this sometime but afraid it might consume a lot of data.

      Definitely depends what game, but you’d be surprised how little it uses.

      This used only 100-200mb an hour. I have 60gb on my hotspot a month, so thats plenty for me.

      When I first moved into my apartment, I wasn’t able to get wifi for a good month or 2. I used my phone as a hotspot and played Xbox pretty much non stop. I never ran out of data. It was great to have.

      Not if you pause downloads.

      Or you can connect to hotspot, start the game and then kill the hotspot. Game should still run fine

      It’s going to depend on the game, I had to go without internet a few days at home and Halo Infinite used about 50mb per match.
