Logitech has finally launched the Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld Console, which it has developed in partnership with Tencent.
The console has a similar design to the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck and features the A/B/X/Y buttons, the D-Pad, two analog joysticks, two bumpers, two analog triggers, and L & R option buttons, along with the G button and the Home button.
The device is a cloud gaming machine, meaning that users will need a WiFi connection as the actual game will be rendered on remote servers. This will enable the device to play AAA titles beyond the capabilities of compact handheld consoles. The console will require a subscription to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Nvidia GeForce NOW, or Steam Link to play games on it.
The console has an Android-based operating system, enabling the Google Play Store, Chrome, YouTube, and more. Coming to the internals, the console is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It has support for Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. It comes with a stereo speaker Linear Haptics motor, a 3.5mm audio jack, and digital USB-C headphone support. Other than that, the console also has a gyroscope and remappable controls.
Pricing & Availability
The Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld is presently available for pre-order in the US and Canada and will ship in October. It currently costs $299 (about Rs 24,100), but that amount is projected to rise soon to $349.99 (around Rs 28,200).
