Logitech’s handheld plans are on ice — don’t expect a G Cloud 2 soon
Logitech has decided not to pursue a successor to its G Cloud gaming handheld, citing a lack of market demand for the original device. The company is currently prioritizing other business areas over the niche cloud-gaming hardware market.
Why it matters
This reflects the challenges of the cloud-gaming hardware market, where high-performance local devices like the Steam Deck currently dominate consumer preference.
Logitech’s new gaming boss, Robin Piispanen, tells me he likes the idea of gaming handhelds. “It’s such a charming value proposition,” he says, as we sip iced vanilla lattes at my local cafe. But he’s not building one right now. He’s not sure when or if Logitech should try again, after its underwhelming experiment with the Logitech G Cloud streaming handheld.
“Right now, in this moment in time, there’s bigger things for us to focus on than doing a second G Cloud,” he tells me.
