A new handheld from Logitech has been revealed, and it has Logitech's device was leaked last month, and comes at a time when there has been a resurgence in handhelds on the market. Previously, Nintendo seemed to dominate over rival handhelds such as the PS Vita, and the Nintendo Switch's high sales seemed to indicate that it would continue to reign supreme. However, handheld PCs such as the Steam Deck and the AYA NEO have recently brought some competition to the market, allowing players to access many games from their PC libraries on the go.
One of the major downsides of the Steam Deck is that several titles such as Halo: Master Chief Collection won't play natively due to "anti-cheat" systems in place. There are workarounds for this to get Xbox Cloud Gaming running on the Steam Deck, and there's the option of installing Windows onto the device (its pre-installed SteamOS is Linux-based) and playing it through there, although this may be more trouble than it's worth for more casual s.
A new handheld from Logitech could be the answer, however, as an announcement from the Xbox Game subscription.
Cloud Gaming Has Had Its Problems In The Past
Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld will also be competitively priced cheaper than the Steam Deck, and around the same price as the Nintendo Switch. However, both of those devices allow players to and play games offline. Cloud gaming on the go in some locations that are lacking a decent Internet connection could pose a greater problem for players, as weaker internet connections have posed a frequently recognized problem with cloud based services such as Google Stadia, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and NVIDIA GeForce NOW when gaming at home.
How Logitech plans to counter these issues surrounding cloud gaming to get Xbox Cloud Gaming working smoothly on their new device remains to be seen. Fortunately, players shouldn't have to wait long to find out, as the Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld is due to launch in North America next month, on October 17.
