MSI teases the launch of their gaming handheld, MSI Claw.
MSI Claw will be a Steam Deck competitor and will be announced at CES 2024.
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 will take place in Las Vegas from 09 January 2024 to 12 January 2024.
With gaming handhelds becoming prominent amongst gamers, tech giants are ensuring the addition of gaming handhelds to their lineup. Steam Deck by Value, Asus ROG Ally by Asus and Legion Go by Lenovo are the prominent handhelds in the market. The Taiwanese company MSI plans to enter the market by launching a Steam Deck competitor at CES 2024 in Las Vegas next week.
Valve started the way of handhelds in the gaming industry by introducing the Steam Deck in February 2022. After a positive response from the crowd, other companies entered the market by creating Steam Deck competitors like Asus ROG Ally and Legion Go. MSI seems to follow the same route as the Taiwanese company, hinting at the launch of the new device on their social media by saying, "A whole new breed of MSI dragon is coming."

On their social media post, MSI teased the arrival of a new device, potentially the gaming handheld MSI Claw, at the CES 2024. The post comprised a video, starting with two RGB circular highlights that look like the potential joysticks of the MSI Claw with the "True Gaming" tagline carved on the top. Since MSI mentioned RGB in their caption, the company might be focusing on the aesthetics of its handheld as well.

Intel Gaming's interaction with MSI's teaser post confirms the presence of Intel under the hood. With the specifications mentioned above, MSI Claw should be a powerful gaming handheld to date and could run anything thrown at it. While the device looks solid on paper, the device's optimisation will equally matter in the success of MSI Claw.
Per the leaked Chinese poster, MSI will give away the MSI Claw gaming console by purchasing the MSI Titan lineup. Whether the giveaway will run internationally or be restricted to Taiwan is still being determined. MSI plans to announce the MSI Claw in Las Vegas during the CES 2024, from 09 January 2024 to 12 January 2024.
