Acer’s launching a Linux handheld for streaming your PC games
The Acer Nitro Blaze Link might run on Linux, but it's no Steam Deck. Acer says it's a "streaming-first handheld and companion device," like a PlayStation Portal for your PC. Announced ahead of Computex on Friday, it's launching in Q4 2026 with a 7-inch (1920 x 1200) display, Wi-Fi 6, just 1GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and 8GB of eMMC storage. That's technically not even enough RAM to run Stardew Valley , but the Blaze Link isn't meant for playing games locally. Logitech launched a simi
Acer has unveiled the Nitro Blaze Link, a new handheld device designed primarily for streaming PC games. Unlike devices focused on local play, this handheld is positioned as a companion for accessing a user's existing PC game library remotely. It features a 7-inch display with a 1920x1200 resolution and supports Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for smooth streaming. The device will run on Linux and is scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2026. Despite its modest specifications, such as 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, its intended use case for cloud-based gaming means local performance is not a primary concern.
This device offers a new option for PC gamers looking to play their library on the go without needing a dedicated gaming handheld or powerful mobile device.
