Cloud gaming, like Xbox Cloud Gaming, lets you play your games without the need for a dedicated PC or console. Unfortunately, you’re relegated for the most part to playing on your smartphone with its small-ish screen. Today, Logitech officially unveiled the Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld, developed with Tencent Games specifically for cloud gaming on the go.

“Cloud gaming is a super-exciting new way to play games. I love that you can access game libraries from anywhere. 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.”

Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of Logitech Gaming

Where the CLOUD Gaming Handheld should excel in over any smartphone is in display size and battery life. With a 7-inch full 1080p screen, 12-hour battery life, and dedicated precision gaming controls, you can stream from Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, and even SteamLink without tying up your phone. What’s more, you can even download games and stream videos using apps installed from the Google Play Store — all you need is a Wi-Fi connection.

“Xbox Cloud Gaming was built to enable players around the world to access Xbox games whenever they want, on the device of their choosing. 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.”

Catherine Gluckstein, vice president Xbox Cloud Gaming at Microsoft
