At Computex 2026, MSI has unveiled the Claw 8 EX AI+, its “next generation” gaming handheld, the first gaming handheld to be powered by Intel Arc G3 Extreme processors, running Windows 11.

The Claw 8 EX AI+ features an 8-inch 120Hz VRR display along with ergonomic grips for comfort during long gaming sessions.  Gaming is enhanced with Hall-effect triggers and sticks, a responsive D-pad for greater precision and a new linear motor for a refined haptic feedback.

The new handheld includes a new ‘intuitive XBox Mode’ for quick game launching and seamless resuming of saved games.  

The premium Claw 8 EX AI+ sports a bold Void Purple colour will be available later in the year and pricing will be available closer to launch date.

At Computex 2026 MSI also announced:
