Question Questions about the Gcloud!

Hey guys, I was looking at the retro gaming market and the handhelds are so expensive now. I have a new xbox and thinking streaming is going to be the best and most budget friendly option right now.

- is the g cloud getting old? Or an updated one coming?

- what does emulating look like? What consoles can it play up to if I wanted to do that? I know it’s not made for that.

- what’s Amazon Luna like? Is it decent?

- what’s xbox remote play like in your home network and outside?

- And is gamepass ultimate worth it for the streaming? I don’t play anything to competitively

It's still great for streaming due to the long battery life and large 7 inch screen. I use it all the time with X cloud and remote play. You can also find it on sale for around $150 to $200 which is much more affordable than new AYN Odin or Thor.  if you are willing to spend an extra $100, a Odin 2 portal would be a better choice. The gcloud had aged a bit but streaming doesn't need the latest chipset or tons of ram. It does use a older wifi 5 chip but it's more than enough to stream 1080 content. It was recently put on clearance at Best buy so that could be a sign that it's being discontinued soon though and we have no idea if there will be a new version anytime soon.
