Logitech G, a brand of Logitech and leading innovator of gaming technologies and gear, today announced the launch of the much-anticipated Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld, a purpose-built gaming device for cloud gaming. The new device includes precision gaming controls, a full 1080p HD screen, amazing battery life, and a lightweight, sleek form factor that enables players to enjoy libraries of PC and console games from the cloud in a fun, new way.

"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 was perfectly optimized for cloud gaming. This meant precision controls - similar to a high-end Xbox controller - a large HD screen, amazing battery life and lightweight design so players can enjoy long gaming sessions, without any compromises."




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

"Xbox Cloud Gaming was built to enable players around the world to access Xbox games whenever they want, on the device of their choosing," said Catherine Gluckstein, vice president Xbox Cloud Gaming at Microsoft. "At Xbox we've been on this journey to bring the joy and community of gaming to more people, and we're excited to see Logitech G launch a cloud-gaming device that will delight players with Xbox games in more places."

"NVIDIA GeForce NOW is an open cloud gaming service that streams over 1,400 PC games, including over 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."

The Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld enables gamers to play anywhere with Wi-Fi. Key features include:

  • Comfortable Play All Day - With a 12+ hour battery life and weight of only 463 g, players can enjoy extended gaming sessions.
  • Full HD - The large 7-inch full 1080p HD touchscreen touts a 60 Hz refresh rate and a full-screen 16:9 gaming experience that is unique to handhelds.
  • Precision Gaming Controls - Performance and feedback rival the best controllers with haptics, gyroscope, and remappable controls.
  • Sustainability - All Logitech G products are certified carbon neutral, meaning that the carbon impact of the product has been reduced to zero due to Logitech's investment in carbon offsetting and removal projects. The packaging of this product is also made from paper sourced from FSC -certified forests and other controlled sources.

The Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld will be unveiled at Logitech's inaugural Logi Play event, a landmark event celebrating gaming and streaming culture. Learn more about the event here.

Pricing and Availability
The Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld is expected to be available on LogitechG.com and at Amazon and Best Buy in North America in October of 2022 for a suggested retail price of $349.99. If you pre-order now, the Logitech G Cloud is $299.99 for a limited time.

[Editor's note: The SoC powering the device is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G (SD720G) Octa-core CPU, with clocks speeds of up to 2.3 GHz. Logitech G hasn't detailed any memory specifications beyond the fact that microSD cards are supported.]

As i said on a previous post. No interest what so ever. From personal experience cloud gaming, especially xbox (havent tried nvidia), has a long way to go. Input Lag is a game killer. (Europe)

With over 300k XBOX servers around the world, latency issues due to overseas servers are a thing of the past.
NVIDIA's situation in Europe is even better, with them having a headquarters in Amsterdam and dozens of servers in each country.

Unfortunately, booth companies don't share exact server locations, but here is a relatively new list of NVIDIA server locations by country:

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
Too weak, my phone or tablets can do the same but features higher end hardware.... So, why?

I love Logitech, but this is not what I expected from them... Even a Switch lite is better than that

Give us a standard AMD platform like the steamdeck and clones, not this anemic game streaming device

and price it adequately, it will sell well enough...(349 is too high for that and the Specs given, 299 promo? Same....)

Or at least put a SD870/888 in it and we talk.... (So it could do better than just streaming.)
