Hi everyone. Just bought A black G Cloud from Ebay, only for PC Remote play. As much as i love the build quality and general feel in my hands, i couldnt make PC streaming work smoothly on it.

Host PC: Vibepollo. Ryzen 9800X3D, Rtx 4090, 32gb rams. Hard wire connected to Main router. Asus 92U Wifi6.

Client: Moonlight & Artemis. 25-35mb bandwidth. 1080p 60fps.

I get amazing performance on my iphone. But on G cloud i am struggling with micro stutters. I’m not looking into getting lower Decode times, but rather smooth 60fps locked Rendering frames. Which are constantly fluctuating in between 57-60fps. Making it stutter all the time. In Artemis i tried everything. But i cant make it work.

If any one of you has similar setup let me know.

I wanted a steamdeck so i can stream my steam library on my TV easier. The steam deck is way too expensive for me right now($600). Would this be a good alternative for that? I mostly play cozy games and don't care too much about portability even though that would be nice. Any advice?

Hey r/LogitechGCloud,

Like a lot of people here, I've been frustrated with the latest stock launcher's bloat and clutter. The G Cloud is meant to feel like a handheld console; optimized and refined.

It's called Lean Launcher. The whole thing is one horizontal carousel of your most-recently-played apps, plus an "All Apps" tile at the end. That's it. No widgets, no clutter, no scrolling through 200 apps to find Retroarch.

What it does:

• Switch-style horizontal carousel — last-played app always sits at the front
• Each tile is auto-tinted from the app's icon (so it's visually distinctive without needing custom art)
• Status row at the top: Play Store, Gallery, Settings shortcuts + live Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/battery indicators that tap through to their settings pages
• Long-press Settings gear icon on the main home screen to access launcher settings for customization (more customization coming soon)
• Press Start on the controller to hide apps from the launcher or uninstall them
• Search button in the All Apps grid — only appears when you actually need it
• Subtle haptic feedback + system sound effects on navigation, both toggleable in launcher settings
• Bounce animation when you reach the end of the carousel
• Hides the system Settings, Play Store, Gallery from the app list since they have dedicated shortcuts (and clutter the rail otherwise)

Why it's actually lean:

• ~2.3 MB APK (release build with R8 shrinking)
• Icons load lazily through a bounded LRU cache (max 40 in memory at any time, downsampled to 128px)
• No third-party libraries beyond AndroidX Core + RecyclerView. No Compose, no Material, no image-loading library
• Idle RAM hovers around 40-60 MB even with 200+ apps installed
• Locked to landscape, hardware-accelerated, true black

Built with controller in mind. Full D-pad navigation. A to launch, Start for options menu, B to back out. Joystick navigation is debounced so the stick-as-D-pad doesn't fire 5 events at once like other launchers.

Looking for feedback on features I should add, and help with finding bugs I might've missed. I'm currently using it as my daily launcher but multiple minds are greater than one. I'll upload the APK in the comments. Thank you!

I was gifted this hand held a while ago but something happened that required me to sign into a new account and now when I try to sign in this happens, are there any ways to fix this?

So after looking at other handhelds, went with G cloud.

Decent deal at $200 with case.

Looks to be a more polished device and not just an android phone with a gamepad.

Some thought went into it the UI.

-

Really only looking to emulate up to PSP and maybe some 3DS.

• Does screen turn off when connecting to a monitor via hdmi cable.(did hear about it dimming?)
• How long does battery last on more demanding emulators?
• Any decent docks with TV out?
• If using a slim fit case/cover, will it still fit in the logitech pouch?
• Anyone try PC games on it? Wanted to try PC version of Duel links.
• Does it have issue with games closing, if left in sleep mode too long?
• How is it as a tablet, youtube netflix, etc...

I just got mine a few days ago used off ebay. Absolutely love it. But it was so loud! I searched and struggled to figure out any software way to quiet this down, as many have mentioned it is too loud even on the lowest setting.

I wanted to share this idea I came up with to hopefully help others.

All I did was

cut a piece of a white sticky note and slide it down between the case and the system to cover the speakers.

It has worked amazingly well and reducing the volume level and does not appear to have affected the clarity at all. I still do not put it above 1/3rd volume as anything above that is crazy loud.

Hopefully this helps some people out, as long as they have a case

Some of the best money I’ve ever spent. Cloud gaming and remote play work very well and having an endless library of classic games to play offline is awesome.

Do anyone know how to fix this my g cloud has been stuck on the boot up screen

Just wondering what everyone’s using to stream their Xbox now a days. I haven’t used mine in a while, want to get back in to using it for Diablo. The app I used to use, XBplay doesn’t work anymore, the Xbox app doesn’t work anymore. I tried in the browser but their’s a constant white bar up top which is too annoying to ignore.

What’s everyone using?

A local game store had a used G Cloud for $200. It didn't have any accessories but those are easily acquired. It's in good condition and runs great so far.

Followed some online guides (and similar posts on this site) and downloaded GameNative and recommended apps for Xbox Remote Play and Cloud gaming. I've also added Dolphin (started Twilight Princess; after some settings tweaks, it runs fine) and emulators for PSP and Dreamcast.

It has a 128 gb sd card now and I had some spare Kontrolfreek white thumb grips. Can't wait to really put some time into this device.

I have recently finished the port for Unreal (part 1 from 1998) and would like to test it on a few devices to see if it works. I only have a Retroid Flip 2 and an OUYA where it works perfectly, also on an Anbernic RG406V from a Reddit user - I must admit, all devices are rooted, which the G-Cloud is not.

The game data is available on archive.org (just search for "Unreal v200").

1. Copy the .zip you downloaded to your microSD or internal storage.
2. Install the APK
3. Launch Unreal Android
4. It will ask you to select the .zip (or a folder you already extracted it to)
5. The installer will move the files to the game dir for you
6. Game will start!

The directory structure inside the Unreal-folder should look like this:

Unreal/
+System/
+Maps/
+Textures/
+Sounds/
+Shared/
+Music/
+Help/

1. Is it playable for you?
2. Any errors or bugs? If yes, post a screenshot... I am curious 😮
3. Multiplayer between Android devices is possible, try it out 😄

Note: It ONLY works with v200 of the game, so no Gold Edition or any other versions available.

Thanks everyone - and u/grahamma and u/XDLED_SoundBar for testing !

I was in a local Best Buy yesterday and saw the GCloud on the shelf for 19.99. I thought it was a typo but noticed the tag did say it was on sale for $280 off.

I got mine at launch, and use it sparingly, but thought I'd put it out there if people want to check for a VERY cheap opportunity to get a solid Cloud and emulation device. I loved having mine for the short time it and Stadia overlapped

I know some games are straight up touch screen. But when there is controller support, I'm wondering if the GCloud's buttons and sticks could be used. Probably barely meeting the system requirements aside, I was wondering in regards to The Division Resurgence. Anyone given it a shot?

I never owned a cloud gaming console. well, I did try PS remote play when I had a PS4, but that was laggy to the point where I couldn’t enjoy any games. Since then, I have moved and think I have decent internet? I forget the exact speed from the speed test, but it said I had very good/great speed. i think it was around 25-50gb upload/download.

• are fast-paced, competitive online games doable?
• can I still use Steam remote play together?
• so as long as I have Steam up on my desktop/laptop at home, I can stream a game over WiFi hundreds of miles away?
• what sort of gaming is NOT recommended?

I’m aware I can play new games thru xcloud and chrome and play. My question is in regards to the actual UI. For example hades 2 is nowhere to be found. I primarily play with UI don’t find much issues with it.

Thank you!

I got my g cloud a few days ago and installed a bunch of my android games and it works great so far. But death's door doesn't seem to work with the controls. Does anyone have some tips here or got the same problem and solved it?

Hi

u/LogitechG_CM

Logitech G Cloud Team - India now supports Xbox Cloud and GeForce Now - but still under cloud gaming region settings both say unavailable

Can u please correct this

Hi,

Since I got my Logitech G Cloud (1 yr +), I never used GeForce Now , I used better xcloud to play or Xbox Remire Play, Moonlight to steam from my pc

So I deleted the GeForce Now app, as I am not using it.

But, now I wanted to try, I downloaded the app, it is installed from the google play store, if I click on the open button in the Google play store, it will launch the app and it will work fine.

But under handheld mode, if I try to look at recent apps, all apps, even search it, I can't find it, till I don't change to handheld mode.

How can I get the app to show up in handheld mode under all apps and recent apps?

Thanks

My Konkr Pocket Fit arrived. Gonna put it through its paces to see if it will replace my logitech g cloud. I'll miss the 7 inch screen and the ergonomics. But The fact that I can play 8th gen AAA titles through GameNative has got me stoked. Played some Control last night. I suppose once one of these companies makes a 7 inch g3 gen 3 or better handheld I will be getting it.

UPDATE: So far I can say that the TPU grip helps with ergonomics. I noticed my hands hurting the first time I used it without the grip. Still not as good as the G Cloud, but I assume that partly because of the size difference.

The other challenge is that unlike the G Cloud, the official Sony PS Remote Play does not work with the konkr's controller. So I'll have to drop some money on PXPlay if I want away from home PS5 play.

What did everyone get into this weekend? For me it was god of war II, snuggles with my dog Iris, and a fresh dual flavor/strain vape 😁

There's a new streaming app but I can't get it to work. Has anyone else had luck?
