Play Halo Infinite, Deathloop, and More with Xbox Cloud Gaming on the Logitech G CLOUD Handheld

At Xbox, we’re always looking to make gaming available to more people in more ways. So today, we’re announcing that Xbox Cloud Gaming will be available in more places with the Logitech G CLOUD Gaming Handheld when it launches in North America on October 17.

I can pretty much do the same thing with my steamdeck. I get that MS doesn't need to make their own dedicated portable... not anymore. this unit for $300 looks to be pretty decent for other stuff as well, not just xcloud gaming.

[crazyCoconuts]

Fact that you could get a steam deck for $100 more and play a wide variety of games without an awesome network connection... Dunno, this device could be ok for around the house I guess, but for a lot cheaper imo. Like $150

I see very interesting but xbox portable would probably be better imo

[Sgt_Slaughter]

The portable market is dead unfortunately. Phones pretty much ended that as we know it. Going from 150M+ units sold for the DS to only 75M or so for the 3DS is why Nintendo combined markets, Phones chewed right into it.

[crazyCoconuts]

I agree with you for the most part, but the switch has been really successful and I think I read somewhere that hardly anyone plays it docked, so it's not being used as a hybrid but I could be wrong.
You're right in that the market is WAY smaller than it used to be

[crazyCoconuts]

It would be even better for MS to make GamePass/MS store work on the steam deck. That way you're not locked into just their marketplace. But for an Xbox fan (I don't mean this in a bad way) I can see how a windows based portable that just plays PC game pass/MS store games would be a neat thing indeed

[darthv72]

to your comment above, I dont play my oled switch docked. to me its a waste of that screen. If i want to play docked i will use my sons regular switch model.

cloud based?
oh dear.

Cloud gaming on a handheld, hard pass... Cloud gaming is still pretty terrible even on a dedicated, cable connected device let alone one connecting over wifi. Sounds like someone in charge at Logitech loves the buzz word “cloud” and demanded a handheld be made regardless of whether it was a good idea. I’ll stick with my steam deck.

[saint_seya]

Well it works great for me. I guess on cloud gaming depends on your net, servers and how far are you from servers. Dunno where the servers are located here in Argentina, but works great for me, feels like is faster response time than playing regular games online with 50-60 latency.

You lost me at "play Halo Infinite"

[onisama]

if you ignore the PS fanboys regular hate and actually played the game you will know how much fun is the compaign ...the negativity is surrounding the multiplayer which is fun but leak of contents made it boring in a short time

[MetroidFREAK21]

I played it day 1... all of season 1 and finished the battle pass and a week after season 2 started, I stopped playing and haven't returned since. Didn't buy the season 2 battle pass and when they released that update video on September 1st, I uninstalled the game and will not reinstall. The game is a lost cause for me. Delays, canceled promised features, continued technical issues and lack of content drove me away. I have 0 interest in Infinite and its safe to call it a failure in my eyes. I won't even install to finish the campaign. I just don't have the energy to do so

[rippermcrip]

There is absolutely nothing special about the campaign.

[onisama]

@cancel their is nothing special in any of games now halo infinite is a very fun game with good story you can do things your way the weapons and mechanics are good ..its a very fun ''game'' that people will try to overshadow its compain with multiplayer delays to satisfy their eaner PS fanboyism

@metroid i think you have to read what i said agian to understand beacause i talked about what you montioned already to begin with:
great fun in compaign
fun multiplayer while it last till the leak of contents kicked in

I been doing this with my moto edge 30 pro with haxly controller (i even bough one more haxly and i can play fine with a Samsung A32 wich is a low end phone -i let my nephew use this one). I been playing Immortal Phoenix rising, Forza 5, It Takes Two with my nephew, i tried Death Loop, also playing Dirt 5, and a few others, it works great, i really like the idea of playing without installing. Also phone battery last longer and doesnt get to hot (if is playing android phones they get way hotter after an hour or so).

My experiences with streaming have been mixed, and I'm guessing network coverage is not ubiquitous and reliable enough for this to go mainstream. However when I hear positive reviews like yours it makes me wonder. I'm really curious to see if streaming services and devices like this will stick around and get popular. Maybe it'll be more like VR and have a small number of people for years that love it but still not be mainstream.
