Logitech Reveals Its Cloud Gaming Handheld Called ‘G Cloud’

Logitech

Logitech is getting into the cloud gaming scene with their new handheld called … ‘G Cloud.’ Not exactly the most exciting name, but it does let you know exactly what you’re getting. There is a catch, of course. The G Cloud does not have its own library of games like the Stadia. Instead, it relies on subscriptions from other companies. So if you have NVIDIA GeForce Now, Steam Link, or XBOX Game Pass, you’re good to go as long as those services are up and you have a pretty good internet connection. In addition, the G Cloud delivers a 60 Hz fresh rate on a 7″ 1080p 16:9 display.

The G Cloud is currently on pre-order at a discount. Rather than paying $349.99, you can get it for $299.99.

For those worried about the Cloud’s impact on the environment, Logitech states that the product is carbon neutral:

CLOUD is Certified Carbon Neutral. This means the carbon footprint of the product and packaging has been reduced to zero due to Logitech investment in carbon offsetting projects.

From what I’ve seen so far, it looks like a pretty decent device if you’re only looking to do cloud gaming. Unfortunately, you’re out of luck if you want to download games to run on the G Cloud.
