Images of Logitech’s Cloud Gaming Handheld Leak

Images of Logitech’s cloud gaming handheld leaked early this morning, but were quickly removed after Logitech filed a DMCA complaint.

Three images of the device were shared by Evan Blass on Twitter(Opens in a new window), but the tweet now simply has “Media not displayed” in their place. However, they were available long enough to reveal some key features of the forthcoming device, which Logitech teased earlier this month.

The handheld is being developed through a partnership between Logitech G and Tencent Games. Logitech is providing the hardware while Tencent handles the software and services side. There is also the promise of multiple cloud gaming services being supported, including Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia’s GeForce Now.

As The Verge reports(Opens in a new window), the leaked images reveal the device is roughly the same size as a Nintendo Switch and has a similar interface. Shots of the display show icons for Xbox, Nvidia, Steam, Chrome, and YouTube. The device will also have access to Google Play, suggesting Android games will be available to play.

Other details revealed in this leak include the handheld being white, it has two analog thumb sticks, a D-Pad, A, B, X, and Y buttons, two bumpers and two triggers on the shoulder, Logitech, home, menu, and context menu buttons, and potentially a microSD card slot for additional storage.

The fact Logitech had the images taken down so quickly suggests they were real. The handheld is expected to launch later this year, which means an official reveal can’t be far away. Perhaps Logitech will bring that reveal forward now that details have started leaking.
