To celebrate the European launch, Logitech G has worked with its
partners to offer a special bundle that includes up to 6 months of
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate which includes Xbox Cloud Gaming, 1 month
of NVIDIA GeForce NOW Priority, and 1 month of Shadow PC. It will
be available in select countries effective from 22 May to 22 June
2023 while bundle supplies last.
“We’re excited to finally bring G Cloud to the European market
and partner with leading retailers and partners in the region,”
said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager at Logitech G.
“G Cloud provides a fantastic new way to access and play hundreds
of games, and we look forward to getting it in the hands of more
players.”
In addition, Logitech G has added several new features to
enhance performance based on consumer input including the
following:
- Virtual button mapping—Adding the ability to map all
physical controls to points on the screen, enabling players to play
mobile games that do not require controller support via G CLOUD’s
built-in controls.
- Analog Stick Sensitivity and Curve
Customization—Increased sensitivity and customization for thumb
sticks, allowing for greater control over the controller
experience.
- Support for Shadow Cloud Computing* technology, allowing
players to seamlessly use their G CLOUD Gaming Handheld to run a
fully virtualized PC via the Shadow PC app—all from the cloud.
- Personalize Your Play With Dead Zone
Customization—Leverage fully customizable joysticks and
triggers (L2/R2) for the perfect balance of play.
“At Shadow, we aim to make the best of technology accessible
everywhere, and on any device. Making it work on the G Cloud was an
obvious and strategic choice for us,” said Jérôme Arnac, Chief
Marketing and Sales Officer at Shadow. “With Shadow PC, G Cloud
users will enjoy the freedom of having access to a powerful Windows
PC on their handheld, with no closed games catalog, the possibility
to use mods, enjoy non-gaming apps, and much more. We are
incredibly excited that Logitech G brings a device to the market
that supports the new ways of gaming, and we cannot wait to see how
creative the community will be in using it.”
Developed in partnership with Tencent Games, the Logitech G
CLOUD Gaming Handheld enables gamers to play anywhere with Wi-Fi.
Key features also include:
- Remote Play, Anywhere & Anytime—Stream games from
your console or PC with the Xbox app, Steam Link and other local
streaming apps from Google Play Store.

a 60Hz refresh rate and a full-screen 16:9 gaming experience.
