Similar to the Asus ROG Ally, the Logitech G Cloud is $50 off

While the Asus ROG Ally vs. Steam Deck battle is still ongoing, what a lot of proponents miss about these portable consoles is the price-to-hardware ratio. Nothing truly beats the Steam Deck’s price right now in terms of what it offers for portable performance and also for its sheer versatility. But one thing is certain, not everyone has over $500 to shell out for a new desktop or portable console alternative. If that sounds like you, then listen up, because Best Buy and Amazon are both offering a killer deal on a similar Logitech G Cloud, right now. Normally $350, you can grab it for $50 off, and pay just $298 at Amazon. Comparably, it’s $300 at Best Buy as well, instead of its usual $350 price tag. Those are excellent deals on this cloud-friendly handheld that will have you gaming just about anywhere — just like the other consoles mentioned above.

Why You Should Buy the Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld

The major difference between Logitech’s G Cloud handheld gaming console and alternatives such as the Steam Deck is that the former console is designed to capitalize on cloud gaming services, and a library of games you might have available to stream remotely. For example, you can leverage Nvidia GeForce Now, or Xbox Cloud Gaming to play hundreds of AAA titles on the go, with a 1080p HD resolution and at 60 frames per second. It integrates with multiple cloud gaming services and even Google Play for Android games, to let you remote play anywhere you have a reliable internet connection.

In Digital Trends’ Logitech G Cloud review, we praised the console for its excellent battery life, comfortable design especially over long play sessions, exceptional cloud gaming apps support, and the option to play mobile games too. It’s also a fraction of the cost of many of its alternatives, even more so when you consider the deal that’s available right now.

You can expect up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge, a lightweight and ergonomic design — it weighs just 463 grams — and WiFi speeds of up to 800Mbps over a 5GHz standard WiFi connection. The 7-inch 16:9 touchscreen display handles 1080P HD content wonderfully, at a decent framerate too compared to other portables. Plus, you get stereo audio with dual microphones built-in, 64GB of internal storage, and a MicroSD slot that supports cards up to 1TB in size.

Normally $350, you can grab it for about $300 at either Best Buy or Amazon right now, saving you $50 and getting you an excellent cloud gaming portable for a much more affordable price than some of the alternatives out there. Hurry though, we don’t know how long either of those stores is going to be offering the discount.

For a short time, enjoy 50 percent off the Logitech G302 gaming mouse ($25)
logitech g302 gaming mouse

Serious gamers know that a good mouse can make all the difference during those competitive online sessions. There is a myriad of gaming mouses on the market today, and designs are growing increasingly bulky and complex with more LEDs and buttons than you can count. As the highly-rated Logitech G302 Daedalus Prime gaming mouse proves, however, sometimes simpler is better. For a limited time, you can score a G302 for 50 percent off of its normal Amazon price, bringing this popular mouse down to $25.

The Logitech G302 gaming mouse was particularly designed with multiplayer online battle arena games like League of Legends and Defense of the Anciencts in mind. Built with input from professional MOBA players, the G302 Daedalus Prime features Logitech’s unique Delta Zero optical sensor which provides a DPI of between 240 and 4,000. When you need to change your sensitivity for handling different tasks, you can switch between four different DPI settings on the fly with the press of a button.

Cassette Beasts shows the challenges of iterating on Pokémon perfection
Two beasts battle a monster named Undyin in Cassette Beasts.

Considering how wildly popular the Pokémon franchise is, it always surprises me that it still has no real competition. Plenty of developers have tried to create their own spin on the monster-catching formula, but few have achieved a true mainstream moment. It isn’t for lack of trying either. Games like Temtem worked hard to position themselves as a viable alternative to Nintendo’s juggernaut, but it’s never been enough to work them out of a niche. Anytime a release like that fails to gain large-scale attention, I’m left to ask just what Pokémon has that its peers lack.

PS Plus’ library is looking more like Game Pass’ in May lineup
Two cars race side-by-side in Grid Legends.

Sony revealed the next batch of three games that will be available throughout May 2023 as part of PlayStation Plus Essential. The lineup includes Grid Legends, Chivalry 2, and Descenders. All are very solid games in their respective genres, but interestingly, they are all also games that Xbox Game Pass subscribers will already have access to.
Grid Legends is the headlining game for this month, and it's a racing game from Codemasters where the standout feature is a story mode framed like a racing documentary with live-action interviews. While I had mixed feelings about the game and the mode when reviewing it last year, those looking for a basic but enjoyable racing game to tide them over until the next Forza Motorsport, Test Drive Unlimited, or The Crew can have some fun with it. If you're subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you're also able to play this game on that platform thanks to EA Play.

For those that are still in a sporty mood, Descenders is an enjoyable downhill biking game that'll scratch the same gaming itch as series like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater or Lonely Mountains: Downhill. Then, there's Chivalry 2, a very intense multiplayer game set in medieval times, which gives it a very welcome change in setting compared to many of its multiplayer peers. Both games are currently playable if you have an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, but will likely leave the service at a later date. 
If you are subscribed to both PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass, you will be fine skipping out on May's PS Plus Essential titles. If you only own a PlayStation console, though, or want to guarantee that you'll still have these games after they leave Xbox Game Pass, then definitely consider downloading them. These games will all be available with PS Plus from May 1 until June 6. Make sure you pick up April's PS Plus Essential games before May 1 as well.
