This $199 Kickstarter for cloud-based gaming looks awesome

I love the Logitech G Cloud for Xbox Cloud Gaming, but as noted in our Logitech G Cloud review, it’s difficult to genuinely recommend it to people because of its too-high price point for a primarily cloud-gaming device.

However, a new competitor has entered the chat, or rather has entered Kickstarter — the abxylute One Pro.

The abxylute One Pro is currently advertised at $199 for early backers of its crowdfunding project and is self-touted to be a ‘next generation’ handheld console.

The abxylute One Pro is one to watch for Xbox Cloud Gaming

When I saw the device, I thought it was like the Steam Deck Smoky Translucent limited edition and the Logitech G Cloud had a baby. The design is stunning, and it will weigh a tiny 430g (for reference, Logitech is 463g, so this will be even lighter).

Mostly, though, I think the early bird price of $199 is a bargain for a device you’ll be able to cloud-game on. Using the abxylute One Pro, you’ll have access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce Now, Boosteroid, Steam Link, and more.

Here’s the full specs as advertised on the Kickstarter.
