Microsoft has announced support for the Logitech G Cloud handheld console via Xbox Cloud Gaming.

The Logitech G Cloud, which launches in North America on 17th October priced $299.99, is an Android-based streaming-only handheld that comes with Xbox Cloud Gaming pre-installed.

With full Xbox Cloud Gaming support, it will play games in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, including the likes of Grounded, Sea of Thieves, Halo Infinite and the recently-added Deathloop.

You can play Fortnite for free, without a Game Pass subscription.

The Logitech G Cloud looks a lot like the mystery handheld device video game developer legend Hideo Kojima was spotted using while standing next to Xbox boss Phil Spencer at Tokyo Game Show last week.

The Logitech G Cloud also supports the Xbox Remote Play feature, which lets you stream your full Xbox library, including those games not in Xbox Game Pass, from your Xbox console.

Meanwhile, the handheld also supports Nvidia's video game streaming service, GeForce Now, lets you stream Steam games via SteamLink, or download remote play and video streaming apps from the Google Play Store.

The Logitech G Cloud launches at a time when availability of Valve's handheld, the Steam Deck, is improving, and with the Nintendo Switch handheld readily available.
