Acer has announced the Nitro Blaze Link, a Linux-based handheld gaming device focused on PC game streaming rather than local gameplay. The device features modest specs including a 7-inch display, 1GB RAM, and 8GB storage, positioning it as a companion device similar to PlayStation Portal but for PC gaming. Set to launch in Q4 2026, it enters a niche market previously explored by devices like the Logitech G Cloud.
