I bought this to stream games from my desktop PC locally and it works well for that. I don't have a GeForce now or Xbox game pass subscription so I can't comment on how well those services work. Pros: - Good battery life - Good bright screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio, so you won't have any black bars around your games. - The picture quality is good, I'm not sure about the specs but it looks colorful - I don't see any PWM or flickering on the display - Good build quality and lightweight without feeling cheap - I like how the controls are laid out like the Xbox controller and the buttons feel better than the smartphone controllers I've tried. - Works well with the Moonlight app Cons: - Kinda pricey especially for my use case - A better processor would have been nice for playing more demanding Android games away from Wi-fi - The triggers take some time to get used to, to me they feel a little too close together. - No wifi 6

I own a PS5 and Xbox Series S and finally decided I was ready to get a remote play device. My use case was simply to be able to remote play both consoles with great quality on my living room couch vs. in my dedicated gaming room. I also own a switch but was tired of being limited to that when couch gaming. I haven’t tried other devices yet but I can say without a doubt that the Gcloud has been amazing for me. The Gcloud is extremely comfortable to use, screen is large and beautiful and battery life is amazing. It may be because both my Xbox and PS5 are hard wired but I have virtually 0 lag. It has stuttered maybe once or twice in the 12 or so hours of continuous gaming. For some additional context, I normally game on a 65in oled so visuals where always going to be critical for me. The Gcloud certainly does not disappoint! I use the unofficial xbxplay and psplay apps (~$6 or so each) and the experience is pretty much flawless! Again I haven’t tried other devices like the ps portal but for me and my specific use case the Gcloud is amazing. I can understand the hate it gets due to its price but honestly the value is delivers (which is entirely subjective) makes it extremely worth it if you can afford it. I kid you not when I say that in the last 3 nights alone, I’ve played MK11, Ghost of Tsushima, Hogwarts Legacy, FIFA 24 and red dead redemption on PS5 as well as Halo, Wildlands and Forza Horizon on Xbox in excellent quality and all seamlessly from my couch! My only real concern is the need to somehow manage how much time I’m spending on video games since I purchased this excellent device.

This device was not meant to be a heavy lifter on games saved locally on the device itself. If you wanted to go that route then Emulation up to PS1 is fine. Where this shines is on streaming games. Take my scenario as an example. I have a killer PC at home I spent a ton of money on to be able to play games. While most people would try to purchase a PC handheld to play these type of games on the road, I feel differently. I’ve already shelled out a ton of money on my desktop PC. I have great internet. Why not just stream using Moonlight? Let your PC at home do the heavy lifting while you enjoy it on the go via streaming. Advantages of this approach: - Battery life on this device is great at 12 hrs. A handheld PC can only handle 2-4hrs. - A desktop PC will always beat out a handheld PC. Keep updating your PC’s components and this device will continue to be useful. Alternatively, the handheld PC route will eventually become outdated. Sure it can also stream but the battery life won’t be as good still. - Storage. Your limitation is no longer the capacity of your handheld device or it’s memory card. Since you are streaming you don’t have to worry about bringing it all with you. More selection, less preparation. Disadvantages: - You are limited by your internet service. If it’s slow it could lead to a rough time. Latency can also have an impact if you like to play FPS games. I find myself rarely in a situation where the internet is bad but it has happened. The internet will improve over time and streaming will be the future. As for the device itself, I find that it is extremely well made. The screen is excellent and one of the best I’ve seen on a handheld. 7” is the perfect size. The buttons feel good when pressing with the exception of the select and start buttons. I sometimes have to make sure I give it a good press on the few occasions I use them. Lastly, the price. I think this device would sell out at $200-$250 range. I bought it on sale at $300 and I think it is worth it simply because there isn’t an alternative this good out there. But man would it be in a sweet spot within that range.

Approx 6month of usage review: This thing is awesome. I use it every single day to stream my PS5 at the end of the night when I want to lay in bed and play. It also means my girlfriend and I can play together in a room that only has one TV, or my son can watch TV and I can still play my games. I don't use it for Cloud gaming as PlayStation still doesn't support that on mobile devices. I definitely recommend to go with the third party streaming app for PlayStation called PSPlay, as it's better in every way than the Sony version. They have an Xbox version too. For the people who want to use this as an emulation device I would advise you to do some research and set your expectations. This is a streaming device first, and an android gaming handheld second. That being said this is probably the highest quality chassis you can find, even if it doesn't have the highest performance. Almost all android gaming handhelds use the garbage Nintendo Switch Joycon style joysticks, which are terrible no matter how much you mess with settings. This handheld is almost identical to the feel of an Xbox One Controller, with squeaky and worse triggers. The CPU in this thing was meant to have the best battery life, and thus can only handle up to GameCube/Wii titles with some Minor/Major tweaking. Don't expect to run games like Wind Waker at 4x Res with widescreen hack on if you want good frame rates. Do expect to run them at native/2x resolutions quite well with a few bells and whistles turned off. Although it doesn't have WIFI 6, I've had zero issues streaming my PS5 at the highest quality settings with multiple other devices connected at the same time. I can't wait for the GCloud 2, because this is an amazing first attempt at an oversaturated niche product.

I recently got to try out the Logitech G Cloud I'll be the first to admit I was not taking this device seriously when it launched last year given 1. It was android 11 2. An older chipset (Snapdragon 720) 3. It was $350... That all said, I was actually extremely impressed and surprised by how awesome this little device is. The chipset probably helped save on production cost, but also is EXTREMELY battery efficient so much so that you can use the cloud and Android based applications for about 8-12 hours. The downside of the chip ofcourse are some android mobile games that are more intensive like Diablo Immortal don't get to run on max settings and honestly looked kinda rough. Genshin Impact looked and ran fine though. This device does have a micro SD card slot so you can even use it for some retro/emulation play (with HDMI out), but any game over 4gb is sadly not compatible given the file format as of this time. This is hands down without a doubt the most comfortable and light gaming handheld I have ever used. If you have good internet/a mesh system this thing works beautifully with everything I used from Cloud Gamepass to Nvidia GeForce Now. Remote play was awesome via my PC using Moonlight and as for PS5 it's always a mix bag no matter the device because something on Sony's end just really doesn't play well no matter how good and stable your Internet is. I would take this over the PS Portal ANY day of the week. Given that the device isn't packing an APU there is no heat or noise from a fan and that was really dope. If you can get this device for around $199-$225 I would say absolutely grab it because it does work well for the intended purposes. You're gonna have looooong battery life and it's nice to just pick up something and start playing if you do enjoy cloud gaming/streaming.
