Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld: Is It Completely Optimized For Cloud Streaming?
A device “perfectly optimized” for cloud gaming is more or less intended to give you “access game libraries from anywhere” – that was the purpose of Logitech G, to begin with, and to fulfil it, they did go above and beyond.
According to Ujesh Desai himself, who is the vice president and general manager of Logitech Gaming, developing the purposely built device for CLOUD streaming means:
“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.”
Thus, in order to accomplish that said agenda, they developed the device with Tencent Games.
As well as collaborated with Microsoft and NVIDIA to guarantee their native support for Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce Now.
As a result, we can not only use this gaming handheld with:
- Xbox Cloud Gaming
- Nvidia GeForce Now
But we can also use it for local streaming for our PC gaming consoles:
- Xbox app
- Steam Link
As well as download other streaming services too, but it has to align with its customized Android system. For instance:
- Google Stadia
- Amazon Luna
