Acer has unveiled the Nitro Blaze Link, a new handheld gaming device designed to stream PC games from compatible Acer gaming desktops and laptops, alongside a refreshed lineup of Predator and Nitro gaming notebooks at Computex 2026. Unlike traditional gaming handhelds that run games locally, the Nitro Blaze Link functions as a streaming device that relies on the processing power of a connected gaming PC. The company claims it delivers low-latency streaming for responsive gameplay while allowing users to access desktop-class gaming experiences away from their primary setup. Also announced was the Predator Helios 18 AI, Acer's latest flagship gaming laptop. Acer has expanded its gaming lineup with the launch of the Predator Atlas 8, a new Windows-based handheld gaming device designed for portable PC gaming. The handheld also supports ray tracing and Intel XeSS 3 AI upscaling technology for gaming performance improvements. For memory and storage, the handheld supports up to 24GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD storage. Battery capacity can go up to 80Wh, while Intel Endurance Gaming technology is designed to help balance performance and power consumption during gaming sessions.
