Nevertheless, if you are on the search for a dedicated handheld for cloud gaming or local game streaming from your PC or console, the G Cloud is worth considering, especially now that it is on sale.

    Pricing and Specification Details

    When the Logitech G Cloud was released in 2022, it cost $349.99. Shortly after, it received a permanent price cut that brought it down to $299.99. Since then, the handheld has received numerous discounts at different retailers.

    The latest deal comes from Logitech itself, and it has removed a whopping $100 from the price of the G Cloud, bringing it down to $199.99. The discount is available on Logitech’s website and is limited to the Black version released in 2025. The white version is out of stock.

    Hardware and Display Features

    At $199.99, the Logitech G Cloud offers users a large 7-inch FHD display housed in an ergonomic shell. The display has a 60Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 450 nits. Powered by a Snapdragon 720G processor, the G Cloud has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.

    Connectivity and Battery Life

    The handheld also features stereo speakers, an audio jack, Bluetooth 5.1 with Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, Wi-Fi, and audio over USB-C. Its 23.1Wh battery has an advertised battery life of over 12 hours.

    Software Update and New Support

    Last year, Logitech released a major update for the G Cloud that greatly enhanced its user experience. The update brought a game-centric user interface with a dynamic home screen, support for the Blacknut Cloud Gaming app, and better support for XR glasses such as the Xreal One Pro AR.

    Versatility and Alternatives

    The Logitech G Cloud is designed for cloud gaming and local game streaming, but it is also an Android handheld, so you can install Android games from the Google Play Store or use it to emulate retro games. You may also be able to get some lightweight PC games running on it using apps such as GameNative and Gamehub. It is also a cheaper alternative to the PlayStation Portal which is currently $249 and can only stream games from your PS5 (via Remote Play) or through an active PS Plus Premium subscription.
