The Nitro Blaze Link is a PlayStation Portal for your PC.
Acer unveiled the Nitro Blaze Link at Computex — a Linux streaming-first handheld (7-inch, 1GB RAM, Q4 2026) for remote PC game streaming. Entirely network-dependent and unpriced, it faces the same market resistance that sank Logitech's $350 G Cloud.
Acer unveiled the Nitro Blaze Link (GN722), a 464g streaming-only handheld with a 7" FHD+ display, Debian Linux, 1GB RAM, and 8GB storage, launching in North America in Q4 2026. With no local processing power and USB-C limited to charging only, it targets users who want to extend their existing gaming PC or laptop over WiFi 6—not a standalone device, making it irrelevant for any stack that doesn't already include Acer gaming hardware.
Just don’t expect Acer’s first Intel-based handheld to be cheap.
