Logitech G and Tencent Games Announces Handheld Cloud Gaming Console
Here is a compact device that only requires an internet connection to play whatever game they want.
About Logitech G
First I’d like to give a brief introduction to Logitech G and Tencent Games.
Logitech G is the global leader in PC and console hardware. They manufacture industry-leading keyboards, mice, headsets, and simulation products.
From my reviews, Tencent Games is one of the world’s leading video game vendors. They provide high-quality interactive entertainment experiences to players.
The company also offers more than 140 games currently.
Partnership Between Logitech G and Tencent Games
On the 2nd of August 2022, Logitech G and Tencent Games announced a partnership between the two.
They are currently developing a handheld cloud gaming console which will come to the market later this year.
The device will be a combination of Logitech Gs expertise in hardware and Tendent Games’ expertise in software services.
This handheld console will support multiple cloud gaming services such as Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia Geforce NOW.
Not much is known about the specifications or looks of the device itself, but hopefully, we’ll get more news soon.
The idea is that this handheld console will exclusively be used for cloud gaming. Users will not have to download anything onto the device.
You will just be able to pick up the device and start playing games through the cloud.
About Cloud Gaming
Essentially how cloud gaming works is it utilizes data center servers from many part of the world to stream games to users.
There is absolutely no need to download or install anything relating to the games you wish to play.
The games are rendered and played on remote servers, which users interact with on their local devices.
If you ask me, this delivery approach sounds like something from the future.
It seems so surreal to play games through the Cloud without having to own a dedicated device to run such games.
As you can imagine, since the device isn’t using its own hardware to run these games, the form factor will most likely be very slim.
Recent speculations suggest the device will be the approximate size of a Nintendo Switch, with a screen in the middle and controls on either side.
Final Thoughts
In my opinion, this device will essentially be a one-up from the mobile gaming experience.
Since mobile phones have the ability to stream games through the cloud, it seems to me this device would be best suited for people who want to continue with their mobile gaming experience but on a dedicated device with better controls and a nicer interface.
This seems like a genuinely good way to ease people into the cloud gaming world.
I’m looking forward to the day gamers don’t need a dedicated PC or console to game on.
Just a compact device that only requires an internet connection to play whatever game they want.
I believe the future of gaming will be through the Cloud Computing. Exciting times are ahead. I love the power of technology on the gaming industry.
I recently read a book chapter of Dr Mehmet Yildiz about Cloud Computing published on Medium. I link the article for those who might want to know more about this interesting technology domain.
