The video game industry is aware of the evolution of cloud game and there are already two hardware stores who wanted to get ahead of the others by putting in stores consoles which only serve to diffusion (and a few other things), like Logitech G Cloud and Razer Edge. If you are one of those who are not sure if this will be the way to go, at least in the near future, we are going to give you some recommendations to better invest your money.
How much does a Razer Edge cost?
It was last October 17 when Razer has gone public with its commitment to cloud gaming with a portable console which is essentially an Android mobile. It will hit the market with two models, one Wi-Fi only which is Edge only, and another with 5G which has no launch date or price. Of course, the first of all these versions intends to reach the stores with a recommended cost of 399 dollars… really
It is obvious that if this is the price range in which they will evolve, they are going to have very complicated to become a product main stream and, therefore, help the apostles of the cloud game they get away with it. But we understand that at Razer there will be very competent people and they will have analyzed in detail the possibilities they have to succeed with a price like this.
We are going, just in case, to offer you four alternatives that will cost you less and give you more entertainment without having to depend on the quality of the connection to play something. These are:
PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
We already know that the Stock consoles next generation
Nintendo Switch
Without a doubt, world’s best performing laptop and at a price that will save you a little compared to the cost of the Razer Edge, you can find it from a price that is around 349 dollars, so with the remaining 50 (or more) you can buy a Metroid Dread
Xbox series S
The little one of the Xbox Series family has become an excellent alternative For those who want to take the leap next generation without spending too much. It doesn’t have a disc drive but you won’t miss it if you subscribe to Game Pass (the same one you need for the Razer Edge). Only here you will pay for a year with what remains of the price.
steam bridge
Ultimately We leave you the Steam Deck alternative, which is a PC in portable format with all the law, it allows you to run current games (Ring of Elden, Red Dead Redemption, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla), possibility of adding Game Pass to enjoy it in the cloud and it will cost you 20 dollars more. The most basic 64GB model, expandable via microSD up to 2TB, will cost you 419 dollars and in terms of performance it has no point of comparison with the Razer Edge.
