Who It Is For

This handheld is ideal for gamers who primarily use cloud gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce NOW, or Steam Link. It is not designed for local emulation or native Android gaming performance, as its chipset is modest. The large screen and comfortable ergonomics make it suitable for streaming AAA titles on the go.

Buying Notes

The Abxylute launched in July 2023 with a starting price of $200. It lacks video output and has no official price or release date changes since launch. Consider it if you want a dedicated streaming device with a big screen and Hall effect controls, but be aware that its performance is limited to cloud gaming and light Android apps.
