Logitech and Tencent are just teasing the device today, and there’s no mention of a release date, price, or even what the portable cloud gaming device looks like. Logitech will apparently rely on its expertise in making gaming accessories for PCs and consoles, while Tencent appears to be more of an operations partner. “As one of the world’s leading platforms for developing, publishing and operating games, Tencent Games has been at the forefront of innovation, which is why we partnered with them,” explains Ujesh Desai, general manager of Logitech G. “As someone who grew up playing video games, the idea of being able to stream and play AAA games almost anywhere is extremely exciting and we can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been working on.” Backbone recently introduced a new PlayStation-inspired iPhone controller.

This mysterious new handheld comes months after Valve released the Steam Deck handheld, which helped transform the concept of PC gaming on the go. Steam Deck supports cloud gaming services like Stadia and Xbox Cloud Gaming, but some people (like Verge admin Alex Cranz) might want a cheaper alternative to Steam Deck that can run cloud games and not depend from your phone. It looks like Logitech is building just that.
