To celebrate the European launch, Logitech G has worked with its partners to offer a special bundle that includes up to 6 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate which includes Xbox Cloud Gaming, 1 month of NVIDIA GeForce NOW Priority, and 1 month of Shadow PC. It will be available in select countries effective from 22 May to 22 June 2023 while bundle supplies last.

“We’re excited to finally bring G Cloud to the European market and partner with leading retailers and partners in the region,” said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager at Logitech G. “G Cloud provides a fantastic new way to access and play hundreds of games, and we look forward to getting it in the hands of more players.”

In addition, Logitech G has added several new features to enhance performance based on consumer input including the following:

Virtual button mapping—Adding the ability to map all physical controls to points on the screen, enabling players to play mobile games that do not require controller support via G CLOUD’s built-in controls.
Analog Stick Sensitivity and Curve Customization—Increased sensitivity and customization for thumb sticks, allowing for greater control over the controller experience.
Support for Shadow Cloud Computing* technology, allowing players to seamlessly use their G CLOUD Gaming Handheld to run a fully virtualized PC via the Shadow PC app—all from the cloud.
Personalize Your Play With Dead Zone Customization—Leverage fully customizable joysticks and triggers (L2/R2) for the perfect balance of play.

“At Shadow, we aim to make the best of technology accessible everywhere, and on any device. Making it work on the G Cloud was an obvious and strategic choice for us,” said Jérôme Arnac, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer at Shadow. “With Shadow PC, G Cloud users will enjoy the freedom of having access to a powerful Windows PC on their handheld, with no closed games catalog, the possibility to use mods, enjoy non-gaming apps, and much more. We are incredibly excited that Logitech G brings a device to the market that supports the new ways of gaming, and we cannot wait to see how creative the community will be in using it.”
