“Cloud gaming is a super exciting new way to play games. I love that you can access game libraries from anywhere,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech Gaming. “What we wanted to do was challenge ourselves to build a device that is perfectly optimized for cloud gaming. This meant precise control – comparable to a high-end Xbox controller – a large HD screen, amazing battery life and a lightweight design, so players can enjoy long gaming sessions without compromise.”

Developed in collaboration with Tencent Games, the Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld supports cloud streaming of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and NVIDIA GeForce NOW. Players can also stream local games from an Xbox console using the Xbox app, download their Steam games through SteamLink or remote play apps, video streaming and more from the Google Play Store.

“Xbox Cloud Gaming is built to give players around the world access to Xbox games whenever they want, on the device of their choice,” said Catherine Gluckstein, vice president of Xbox Cloud Gaming at Microsoft. “At Xbox, we’ve been on this journey to bring the fun and community of gaming to more people, and we’re excited to see Logitech G launch a cloud gaming device that will delight players in more places with Xbox games. ”

“NVIDIA GeForce NOW is an open cloud gaming service that streams more than 1,400 PC games, including more than 100 that are free to play,” said Phil Eisler, vice president and general manager of GeForce NOW cloud gaming at NVIDIA. “It’s great to see Logitech G optimize the experience so gamers can enjoy their favorite PC games in an incredible new way.”

With the Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld, gamers can play anywhere with WiFi. The main features include:

  • Play comfortably all day long – With over 12 hours of battery life and a weight of just 463g, players can enjoy extended gaming sessions.
  • Full HD – The large 7-inch full 1080p HD touchscreen has a 60Hz refresh rate and a 16:9 full screen gaming experience that is unique to handhelds.
