The future of gaming is in the cloud, right? Logitech G Cloud is a well-designed, comfortable-to-hold gaming handheld that proves the “future” part of that proposition. This solid-feeling mobile gaming device promises so much, and yet the quality of your gaming experience is entirely dependent on the network environment in which you use it.

The G Cloud is an Android 11 tablet with a dedicated user interface for gamers. You can switch in and out of Gaming and Tablet modes fairly easily, which can be a boon for mobile gamers who want to play with a built-in controller. Gaming mode has a few different visual themes (one dark and one light “gamer-style” look), while Table mode simply looks like an Android device.

The software that comes with the G Cloud includes GeForce Now, a sort of "play what you already own all in one place" service that lets you play the Steam, Epic Games, Xbox, EA, and Ubisoft games you already own over the internet on GeForce Now's high-end PC hardware (for a fee). There are also apps for Xbox Cloud Gaming, Steam Link (for playing Steam games from your PC), and the Google Play Store, so you can load mobile games or other apps onto your device.

The hardware itself is lavish. It’s a gorgeous white with bright yellow accents, great-feeling analog sticks and buttons, and a 1080p display that looks pretty good, even if it’s not OLED like the latest Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck. It’s a little larger than the Switch, but feels every bit as rigid and premium as Nintendo’s offerings. Maybe even a little larger, since the control grips are built-in.
