My first impressions

Cloud gaming is coming whether or not you prefer it or not, and it was solely a matter of time earlier than it made it to handheld kind.

The solely challenge is that it requires an always-on connection to the web making it far much less transportable than a few of its opponents, nonetheless that stated, many handheld avid gamers use their handhelds more often than not in their very own properties, so its unlikely this will probably be a serious challenge for these on this machine.

It additionally removes the annoying wait to obtain your video games library as its all within the cloud ready for you, the identical goes for updates, there’s no want to attend.

In phrases of design it seems like a reasonably trendy machine, and the lime inexperienced accents are dotted all through the machine properly, giving it that Logitech aesthetic.

It options flared shoulder buttons, good curved ergonomics on the again, a 3.5mm headphone jack and linear haptic responses making you are feeling much more immersed.

Overall I’m wanting ahead to see what the way forward for cloud handheld gaming seems like, and if anybody can do it properly, its Logitech, however is it sufficient to seize avid gamers consideration when large boys just like the Steam Deck and AYANEO are inflicting havoc in the marketplace?
