Xbox Cloud Gaming goodness is coming to the new Logitech G CLOUD right at launch

Logitech's latest device, G CLOUD Gaming Handheld, is set to make its debut in North America on the 17th of October, and as the leaked renders revealed previously, it will come with support for cloud gaming services. Now, Xbox has announced that Xbox Cloud Gaming will be available with Logitech's handheld console once it hits the market.

G CLOUD Gaming Handheld comes with a 16:9 full-screen display and offers extended battery life along with built-in Wi-Fi, and ergonomic controls. This will allow you to get online for multiplayer sessions or progress through campaigns.

Along with Grounded and Sea of Thieves, with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership, you will be able to play a wide variety of titles in addition to new games from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda, and titles from partners including The Gunk, PowerWash Simulator, and Tunic. Playing Fortnite will also require no Game Pass subscription.
