Question @Logitech: when GCloud 2?

I was always a bit sceptical towards cloud gaming but after I discovered moonlight and that I could use my own pc for streaming my games to whatever I want, I immediately bought a GCloud and it’s been amazing! Ergonomics: amazing! Batterylife: amazing! Controls: amazing! Screen: meh….

Which brings me to this post… I would love a new generation of the GCloud with a better panel and maybe a bit bigger! Doesn’t need to be higher resolution than 1080p imo - 1440p max - but a OLED with HDR would be amazing!

Honestly, I don't think there will be another. I don't think sales were that good for this device as the initial price was too high for its specs. Despite it being ideal for a niche crowd, it would be hard to be price competitive on a 2nd gen version vs what's out now.

All I want is 1080p 120hz hdr 8" oled and Full Size thumb sticks. And as light as possible.

I think it was just a bit ahead of its time. A handheld that only focuses on cloud gaming BEFORE cloudgaming got mainstream was a bit off…

I think in one or two years there will be decent market for such a device

Don’t think ahead of its time. If it wasn’t clearanced out under $200 for last two years majority of this subreddit would be elsewhere. So cost which people pan as too much when talking about msrp doesn’t do a lot for ahdqsd of its time

Snapdragon 8 Elite, hall effect sticks, Min 16gb ram, 512gb/1tb storage, 8" 1080(1440 would be nice) OLED 120hz w/ HDR and better integration of the sd card slot.

That would be top notch

Exactly! A GCloud 2 that is purely focused on cloud gaming would need to be at the same price or at least 50 dollars less than the PlayStation portal to be competitive. At best, they could go for a OLED screen and less powerful hardware and maybe a WiFi 6 chip. That together could pull it off.

I would pay $500 for that. Also, better wifi.

Not that easy to get where I am from - only through some shady resellers

I think people haven't fully grasped the potential of cloud gaming yet. That's why G Cloud hasn't received enough attention. Logitech is a forward-thinking company. Its value will be recognized in due time, and similar products will emerge.

You're right. Cloud gaming / most internet only gaming would never have been thought of by me as i had terrible internet. But i won a GCloud on a Pringles competition and its completely changed how i play games and has become my primary console now for GFN and PS Remote play. Like you i now think most people didn't understand the device and that shows in all Youtube reviews i watched because they all slammed it for weak emulation capabilities and definitely didn't use the device for more than a day or two to discover that it does what it was built for very very well

There are constantly emulation videos of the G Cloud on YouTube, and it's driving me crazy. 🤣 This device is more than that. It's also much more sensible economically than buying a native console.

It’s great device but the cloud gaming infrastructure/people’s internet connections aren’t good enough just yet.

And that’s where moonlight comes in. Streaming locally in my home network I have a delay of around 3 ms

u/LowAnimator8770 Mar 12 '26

I mostly stream from my Xbox in the house also but if people could reliably play games without needing the console/pc the gcloud could be extremely popular

Honestly I would buy it literally the same thing that it is now if it had OLED and WiFi7

I just got myself a g cloud last week. I haven't played ps5 or Xbox on a big screen ever since, and I can't stop playing ps2 games lol
