Acer just dropped some exciting news for gamers at Computex: the Nitro Blaze Link, a new Linux-based handheld device designed for streaming your PC games. This gadget isn’t trying to compete with the Steam Deck; instead, it’s all about delivering a smooth streaming experience.
The Nitro Blaze Link sports a 7-inch display and comes with Wi-Fi 6, but only packs 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. It’s designed to work as a companion device, much like a PlayStation Portal, focusing on streaming rather than local game play. Acer hasn’t released a price yet, but with specs like these, it could be a more wallet-friendly option compared to pricier handhelds.
While other devices like Logitech’s G Cloud have set the bar with higher specs and price points, the Blaze Link aims to be a simpler alternative. With handheld gaming PCs becoming more expensive, Acer’s approach might just hit the sweet spot for budget-conscious gamers. For those curious about the latest in handhelds, check out how the Steam Deck’s price hike is affecting the market.
Keep an eye out for more updates on the Nitro Blaze Link, including pricing and availability, as Acer gears up for a Q4 2026 launch.
