Gaming handhelds have become quite capable in recent years. Devices like the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally let you take your favorite PC games almost anywhere. Now, Acer wants a piece of that action, too, but its latest handheld comes with a price tag that might make you think twice.
First unveiled at Computex 2026, the Acer Predator Atlas 8 goes on sale November 1, exclusively at Best Buy. And while we’ve known about the handheld for a while, Acer has now revealed one important detail: it’ll cost $1,300. That’s a lot of money for a portable gaming device, but it hasn’t scared everyone away. According to Acer, the first round of pre-orders sold out last week. If you missed out, online orders will reopen on November 1, when the handheld also arrives in stores.
