Tencent is partnering with Logitech to develop a “cloud gaming handheld” that is planned to hit markets later this year.
Logitech announced a partnership with the massive Chinese entertainment conglomerate Tencent via Twitter on August 2. This partnership will be one of Tencent’s first ventures into the hardware market.
According to the announcement, the device will be able to “support multiple cloud gaming services.” According to the blog post that accompanied the announcement, both Tencent and Logitech are now working with the teams at Xbox Cloud Gaming and NVIDIA GeForce NOW to facilitate this promise.
It would appear from the statement that the device will work similarly to other cloud gaming devices, with games being rendered on remote servers and streamed to the device.
The partnership seeks to combine Tencent’s expertise in software services with Logitech’s expertise in hardware.
