Logitech G Cloud Debuts in Spain: Cloud Gaming as a Competitor to the Steam Deck
Challenging the Steam Deck is no simple feat, but the Logitech G Cloud aims to do so by adopting a unique approach through cloud gaming.
Portable gaming consoles have become incredibly popular in recent years, ever since the Nintendo Switch was released. This has led to a flood of consoles that allow users to play games on the go. The most recent additions to this lineup include the Steam Deck, the ASUS ROG Ally, and now, the Logitech G Cloud.
Yes, three consoles have been released within a relatively short period of time. In this article, we'll focus on the Logitech G Cloud, which has just launched in Spain. The Steam Deck has already been reviewed, while the ASUS ROG Ally is currently undergoing testing. As for the Logitech G Cloud, it was released a couple of months ago.
The standout feature of this console is its focus on cloud gaming. Unlike the Steam Deck or the ASUS ROG Ally, the Logitech G Cloud doesn't require immense processing power to run games. Instead, it utilizes cloud services to deliver the gaming experience.
What are these services? We're referring to the likes of NVIDIA GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, or any future platforms that may emerge. Naturally, most of these services come with a subscription cost. So, in addition to purchasing the console, users will also need to subscribe to these services.
Logitech G Cloud arrives in Spain, offering cloud gaming anytime, anywhere.
Xbox Cloud Gaming is among the most popular services due to its extensive game catalog. However, unless you're a hardcore gamer, the price may not be justified. Of course, it's also possible to play games through Steam Link, as all you need is a Wi-Fi connection.
Now, let's talk about the technical specifications of this cloud gaming console. The Logitech G Cloud features a 7-inch IPS screen with Full HD resolution, a refresh rate of 60 Hz, and a brightness of 450 nits. It is equipped with a Snapdragon 720G processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage, which can be expanded using microSD cards.
The Logitech G Cloud boasts a 6,000 mAh battery that, according to Logitech, can provide up to 12 hours of gameplay. The console will retail for $369 and will be available starting from May 22. However, it is already available for pre-order on Amazon. To entice buyers, Logitech is offering a 6-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a one-month subscription to NVIDIA GeForce Now.
