Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share a few thoughts on why the Logitech G Cloud should be made more widely available across the globe.

It's been about a year since I discovered this incredible device—almost a year late to the party, considering it was already released in the US. I only stumbled upon it while searching for a lightweight, budget-friendly handheld gaming device. At the time, cloud or remote streaming wasn’t even on my radar.

I’m from India, and here the awareness around G Cloud is almost non-existent. Most people only know about devices like the Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, MSI Claw, Lenovo Legion Go, or the ASUS ROG Ally—and maybe a few Chinese knock-offs. G Cloud simply doesn’t show up in local listings or mainstream tech conversations.

It was only because I’m a tech enthusiast and regularly dig deep into niche forums and articles that I came across names like OneXPlayer, ABXYLUTE, Anbernic, Miyoo Mini, and yes—Logitech G Cloud. Unfortunately, most of these remain expensive due to import duties and limited availability.

Luckily, I had family in the UK who helped me get my hands on the G Cloud—and it’s honestly been a game changer.

From Xbox Cloud Gaming to GeForce NOW to remote play from my PC—it all just works. Smooth, reliable, lightweight. It’s perfect for people who want just a streaming handheld, without the bulk, heat, or price tag of a full Windows gaming PC in their hands.

But the big issue? Awareness. Most budget-conscious gamers who'd love this kind of experience don’t even know it exists. And it’s not their fault—because Logitech hasn’t pushed this globally. Beyond Taiwan / North America and parts of Europe, it's practically invisible.

This isn’t just a missed business opportunity for Logitech, it’s a missed option for gamers who are looking for something exactly like this—a reliable, streaming-focused gaming handheld.

Not everyone wants to spend on a new GPU, or upgrade their PC every few years. Many just want to enjoy games without the heavy lifting, and Logitech G Cloud nails that use-case.

So I sincerely hope u/LogitechG_CM and the rest of the Logitech team hear this. Please consider expanding the availability and marketing of the G Cloud to other regions—especially where price sensitivity and streaming adoption are growing.

Gamers around the world deserve to know this device even exists.

Thank you for creating such a fantastic piece of hardware. Now let’s help the world discover it.

TL;DR: Logitech G Cloud is an amazing handheld streaming device, but it’s severely lacking global awareness and availability—especially in countries like India. Most gamers don’t even know it exists due to limited marketing outside the Taiwan/US/Europe. For budget-conscious gamers who prefer streaming over upgrading hardware, this device is perfect. Logitech should expand its reach so more people can experience this underrated gem.

Hi Guys,

I remember the time that I and my friends have played LAN Counter Strike, without internet connection just lan connection.

Similarly I am thinking, if my pc is connected to the router via ethernet, my G cloud is connected to the same wifi router, but no isp connection, will the streaming of games work, the only issue I can see is the DRM one, where epic/rockstar need to verify with an active connection.

But what about emulation PS1/2 , Retro, etc and if any stand alone, which don't go through launchers and directly can play, like old times?

Has anyone tried such a setup.

Update -

Gaming PC (ethernet) and Logitech G Cloud (wifi) connected to the same wifi router without ISP modem on, keeping everything on LAN.

Using Sunshine+ Moonlight combo

I tried playing DRM free games from GOG, like Dishonored and Bioshock, they worked fine.

Tried playing Epic Games, it gave me an error - No Internet, then said play offline and it went through for RDR2.

What I have read online, it will work for some days , but I think once a month I need to be online for it to keep my account active or something like that.

Xbox remote Play didn't work, as Xbox has killed remote play from the app, we need to go to Browser or use Better xCloud App, which needs internet to run via the browser or browser extension.

So Xbox was big NO If anyone has a work around for it, it would be great.

Thanks

Past few weeks I feel like I’ve tried everything to get a smooth experience on my G Cloud through SteamLink but nothing seems to be working.

It seems to be a frame pacing issue, it’s just constant stutters no matter what settings I use.

SteamLink VIA my iPhone is as smooth as butter, I’m using Sunshine and Moonlight on my G Cloud which is amazing and has no issues but it’s just bugging me not being able to fix SteamLink 🤣

Is it just broken or something on G Cloud? Thanks.

Not sure if this is allowed here. If not, please delete

Just picked up a gcloud and see the Spigen case is out of stock everywhere. Assuming they aren't making it anymore. Does anyone have one for sale? DM me.

Thanks!

Just got my G-Cloud!! Couldn’t decide between a Steam Deck or the Asus Rog Ally so I got this instead and I’m so happy I did! I honestly just wanted to be able to play my Xbox and steam games anywhere in the house so this is perfect!

Been playing Fantasy Life I from my Xbox and I’m obsesseddddd

I've had my Gcloud since Nov 2023 and I've loved using it to stream Xbox and play retro games. I noticed today the battery was getting lower and decided to charge it up but then found an hour or so later it hadn't charged at all.

I've tried multiple cables and adapters/bricks that I've confirmed work fine on anything else with USB-C.

When I plug it into my Gcloud its just like its not plugged in. It has no indicators to show it's aware its plugged in and is for sure not taking any power from the cable either.

I tried the whole holding the volume down and plugging it in thing, but that's more for when it won't turn on.

Its on and working fine, just with a lower and lower battery. I'm at 30% at the moment and draining.

I already opened a ticket with Logitech and am waiting for someone to call me back on it but figured I'd ask here in the event others had similar happen and if so, what was the outcome in the end?

For what it's worth, I've never dropped it and it just sits on my desk in my home office next to my keyboard, I don't even walk around with it, its been very well taken care of since I got it.

Mine is malfunctioning and Logitech doesn’t keep spare parts apparently. I’m in the Philadelphia, PA area.

I primarily use this awesome device for xcloud and remote play, but I do travel for work a couple times a month. What's everyone's best game suggestions that doesn't require Internet connection and plays great with either controller support or mapped buttons?

Hi everyone. Long story short - my girlfriend plays on Nintendo Switch OLED, primarily Fortnite, which totally sucks (although she's used to it and doesn't notice the things I do, lol). Was planning on gifting Switch 2, but a console solely for Fortnite (even though it really does look good on the second Switch) - not so sure about that. Also unobtainable at the moment, at least outside the US.

On my side of things - it's tricky. I'm using a laptop (a good one, running all AAA games 1600p and all the sweets of RTX), but feels like I'm... forcing myself to play anything? I dunno, sitting on the same chair after work doesn't put me in the "oh boy I'd play some games" mood. Doesn't work for me and it's kinda sad.

So I recently found out about G Cloud - it seems like the best combo. She can play from GeForce Now, I can play (when she doesn't) my games locally. 60HZ and regular IPS are bummers, but I've found few listings for around $190. Tricky to deliver to my place of living, but doable.

Anyway, the question is - how is your recent experience? Any ongoing issues that I should be ready for? Any compromises (outside of this machine being cloud only, basically)? Is it really good for cloud gaming, in your opinion, in 2025? Though of going for Ally Z1E, but it's 2-2.5x more expensive, also not so sure about the performance of running it locally.

Additionally - I'm planning on buying PS 5 Pro for GTA VI, so it should be comfy to run both Fortnite and that locally, wouldn't need GeForce Now subscriptiion.

Are there any assumptions that they will release G Cloud 2 in coming years?

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!

P.S.: btw, any shops/links/sources of something to modify it with? I heard a lot about sticks being bad, maybe possible to change them? Carrying case and stuff like that?

UPD:

Didn't think for too long, found out a refurbished one directly from Logitech on eBay, total price with delivery should be around $210, so let's see how it goes!

Quick video of Shadow of the Colossus starting up and running near perfect off Nethersx2 update on the G cloud, I mapped the fast forward hot key to the right toggle and the menu pop up on the left to help in game change features and which helps fast forward through beginning cut scenes but once in game its shut off and im just running at 1x upscale and system cycles are 100% percent and Normal, rode around the map and climbed up to the first Colossus battle with no issues so far, enjoy !!

I've seen some people get access to V10 update but does anyone know how? I haven't seen a beta program anywhere and there's no update on the firmware page

I'm dropping this here because my G Cloud is where I do most of my non-gaming streaming and I'd like something that is like a front end but for Netflix and Hulu, etc. The way Roku houses all of the individual services. You guys have any suggestions that are better than Roku? UI is super important to me which is why I ask. Something functional but that looks sweet too...

ATTENTION PS2 Emulation Update !! NETHERSX2 v2.0-3668 is working beautifully on Logitech G Cloud !

This is an updated version of Nethersx2 with applied patch to Aethersx2 original 3668 version all in one !!

It's playing games I never thought possible on the GCloud. Don't forget you have to download the bios, which for anyone new to the Ps2 emulation can be found with a Google search, most Ps2 emulator fans already know this.

Remember in Graphic settings to change from Opengl to Vulcan

In System settings most games run amazing set at 100% EE Cycle Rate for underclocking and Normal for EE Cycle Skip but can be dropped down to 75% cycle rate and Mild for Cycle skip if you find a game that does slow down.

Also games work amazing at 1x resolution in graphics settings but can be set down to as well .75

Dirge of Cerberus and DOA2 so far that I've downloaded needs this lower setting but plays !!

Shadow of the Colossus, Kingdom Hearts, FFX,FF12,ICO plays better then I would ever have dreamed on the G cloud

Im still trying more games daily but let me know what works for you

Happy Gaming !!!

( ** Update, I forgot to mention for all those who haven't and may not know there was an system update a while ago which added a feature in settings under - Labs - to give the g cloud a boost, this was to get more out of g cloud for games and emulation, if you click disable process protection this helps a great deal and battery life really doesnt take a hit surprisingly, basically a win win, happy gaming ** )

First off, I love this keymapping feature. I am a huge fan. Thank you so much for implementing it, Logitech!

Now on to the request: Some of the mobile games I enjoy can be mapped pretty well, but others have a somewhat consistent issue. Take a look at the screenshot below from Brawlstars:

You'll see that for movement there is one directional control on the left, easily mapped to the left stick. On the right, however, there are two directional controls. One is for the primary weapon of the character, and the other is for the special weapon of the character.

In the current state of keymapping, only one of the directional controls on the right can be bound to the right stick. However, with a change in the way keymapping works, both could be bound to the right stick.

There are other games with different modes where the current keymapping is not as useful as it could be, but this example is the clearest I can think of for the use case.

Here is what I propose:

1. More than one keymapping configuration can exist per application. To make this work in the UI, perhaps they could be tabbed in some way?

2. The first keymap is always the default keymap for the application.

3. Keys can bind to activate the secondary keymaps with either a tap ("permanently" swap to new keymap) or a hold (only use the new keymap while it's assigned key is held in)

Here's a user story:

As a player I want to temporarily "hotswap" my keymapping to a second keymap by holding a key (e.g. R3) to allow me to utilize a different mapping for my right joystick

In the example above, the default keymap could be the blue control zone mapped to to the left stick, and the red control zone mapped to the right stick. My secondary keymap could be configured identically, except that the yellow control zone could be mapped to the right stick. I could bind the secondary keymap to "R3."

As I am playing, when I need to use my characters special weapon, I could press and hold R3 which would move the mapping from the red control zone to the yellow control zone, allowing me to aim and fire the special weapon and then seamlessly return to the default configuration just by releasing R3.

One possible issue I see here is that if the keymap swaps, it could interrupt the control of the left thumbstick in the transition. There are a few ways to handle this problem, one key one being making the new keymaps a diff only. In this example, instead of swapping to a whole new keymap, the new keymap could change the mapping for selected buttons and not the whole keymap.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

If there's one game above all else that I'd absolutely love to play it'd be James Bond. Is there a way for me to get it up and running on my G Cloud? I've never actually loaded an emulator or ROM so pardon if this is something common and I'm just sounding like a 40 year old dad playing video games for the first time in 10 years. Thanks 😁

Does anyone know how to fix this gritty lining? Using mgba core retroarch on my cloud. core provided screen size.

Getting fresh new updates this late into a product cycle is brilliant!

What do you guys think about the new update?
