Acer has jumped into the handheld gaming arena with the Predator Atlas 8, following OneXPlayer’s Arc G3 Extreme powered reveal earlier today. The Atlas 8 arrives amid a market where Nitro Blaze models from Acer previously teased but not released, leaving fans curious about the company’s handheld ambitions and timing.
Pricing and specifications retained here
According to Acer, the Predator Atlas 8 will be available with Intel’s Arc G3 or Arc G3 Extreme processors, which contain Arc B370 and Arc B390 graphics, respectively. Based on our experiences with Arc B390-powered laptops, the Predator Atlas 8 could be over 50% more powerful in games than Radeon 890M-equipped handhelds like the Legion Go 2 or the ROG Xbox Ally X (curr. $1,309 on Amazon).
Display and hardware configuration
Moreover, the Predator Atlas 8 leverages an 8-inch and 1200p IPS display featuring 500 nits peak brightness and a 120 Hz VRR refresh rate. On top of that, the handheld offers up to 24 GB of LPDDR5X-7467 RAM and 1 TB of M.2 2280 storage, all in a package measuring 299 x 127 x 28.5 mm. Apparently, Acer plans to sell versions with 60 Wh and 80 Wh batteries too, which will see the Predator Atlas 8 weighing 770 g or 810 g.
Launch window and market reach
Currently, Acer expects to sell the Predator Atlas 8 in Africa, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. However, the handheld will not reach any of these markets until October 2026. Pricing information remains unknown for now.
