You can finally pre-order MSI’s latest gaming handheld in the United Kingdom. The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ was technically released on June 23, with pre-orders available in the United States as early as June 15. In any case, that’s all in the past, and UK customers can now get their hands on the Intel Arc G3 Extreme-powered device at one popular retailer – Scan.
It’s also on Amazon, but from an unofficial brand. In a PR email, MSI tells us “more retailers expected to open pre-orders soon” – so we’re keeping an eye on alternative stores. Another great thing about the UK launch is that MSI is actually selling its ‘Launch Pack’ in the region. This includes the handheld itself, alongside accessories such as a travel case, screen protector, and more.

MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is now available in the United Kingdom
[25/06/2026] (London, United Kingdom) – Following its debut at COMPUTEX 2026, MSI’s highly anticipated Claw 8 EX AI+ is now available to pre-order in the UK. Powered by Intel® Arc™ G3 Extreme processors, the Claw 8 EX AI+ delivers exceptional AAA gaming performance, advanced AI-powered graphics technologies and premium handheld ergonomics for gamers looking to play anywhere without compromise.
MSI Press Release
While the EX model retains much of the same design as the Claw 8 AI+ that came before it, the big addition is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme processor. The new MSI Claw arrives as the very first G3-powered handheld on the market. Other G3 devices releasing this year include the OneXPlayer 3 and the Acer Predator Atlas 8. MSI has published several in-house benchmarks (see below).
