Gaming in 2025: Cloud, Handheld, or Console?

Gaming has fragmented into multiple compelling options. Cloud gaming through Xbox Game Pass and GeForce Now has matured, offering console-quality gaming on any screen. Handheld PCs like the Steam Deck OLED and ASUS ROG Ally X give you full PC gaming anywhere. Traditional consoles like the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X still deliver the best living room experience. Mobile gaming continues to grow with phones like the iPhone 16 Pro and ROG Phone 8 pushing performance boundaries. The best part? Your games and progress can follow you across devices more than ever. The winner depends entirely on how and where you prefer to play.
