Logitech G and Tencent Games just announced a partnership to bring a cloud gaming handheld to market later this year. The partnership will supposedly combine Logitech G’s “expertise in hardware” with Tencent Games’ “expertise in software services”.
The new device will apparently support multiple cloud gaming services. Moreover, both companies are working with the Xbox Cloud Gaming and NVIDIA GeForce NOW teams, with the aim to let gamers play AAA games when they are away from their console or PC.
Logitech G and Tencent Games stated in a press release that they share a “mutual vision of the future of gaming and are committed to ensuring the quality of experience comes together seamlessly to deliver on the exciting promise of gaming from the cloud”.
Cloud gaming utilizes data center servers to stream video games to consumers – so that there is no need to download or install PC or console games. Instead, games are rendered and played on remote servers, and users interact with them locally on their devices.
