Both Razer and Logitech’s handhelds are only available in the United States to start with.
What games can you play?
Both these gaming consoles are designed to work with cloud gaming services and give you access to games that way.
The Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld runs on Android 11 and has a tablet mode of sorts. It has access to the Google Play store and games from there.
You’re meant to use this console to access cloud games with Nvidia GeForce Now and/or Xbox Cloud Gaming. These services give you access to a lot of games with relative ease, assuming you have a subscription and fast home Wi-Fi.
The Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld appears to be pretty flexible though as it also works with Steam Link. So if you’re a PC gamer then you can use your gaming PC to stream games to it while you’re at home and play that way.
