Weekly Roundup: Handheld Gaming News
Razer Edge Price Drop
The Razer Edge handheld I use as a makeshift PlayStation Portal is down to its lowest-ever price, but only through this weekend. The Razer Edge can do PS5 Remote Play and a whole bunch more.
The Razer Edge is a powerful handheld gaming device that can do more than just play PlayStation games.
I have an awkward relationship with the Razer Edge. While I love the handheld for its Android versatility and the fact it can cosplay as a PlayStation Portal, I find its MSRP a bit hard to stomach. Thankfully, the idea of recommending the phablet console is now less likely to make me choke, as Amazon has slashed its price to a record low.
In line with Amazon’s Gaming Week sale, the Razer Edge has dropped from $399.99 to $249.99. The 38% discount is the first of its kind, as the best gaming handheld contender even resisted deep price cuts during Black Friday. Yet, here we are staring at the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this Android device, and if you’ve been eyeing up the PlayStation Portal, it’s now seriously worth considering.

Nvidia Expands GeForce NOW Support for Steam Deck
Nvidia is making it easier to use its GeForce Now game streaming service on Valve’s handheld gaming PC.
This is important because, until now, getting the game streaming service running on a Steam Deck was possible, but tedious because Nvidia’s GeForce Now Windows 11 app doesn’t play well with Steam Deck’s SteamOS interface. Instead, many Deck owners use GeForce Now by switching to Desktop Mode, firing up a browser window and streaming their GeForce Now games through it.
