What Is Xbox Ally And What Should Players Expect Out Of It?

Question

Who can shed some light on what the Xbox Ally is, alongside the features it will provide for gamers?

Answer 1

Im confused. The rog ally can already have xbox gamepass

Answer 2

I have been waiting for xbox handheld consoles for years...

Answer 3

Offline is the key ... not locked DRM online streaming device with a digital library that can be deleted on a whim

Answer 4

Never had a handheld PC but have been wanting one. This may be the one I get.

Answer 5

Casually putting new silksong gameplay on there is actually wild

Answer 6

This can be game over for Sony over the long term with some decent pricing. You can literally play all the Sony released games on this device. Finally, genius. They just need to keep pushing this direction and Sony will either have to open up further or risk being left behind.

This is just a Rog Ally that already existed with an xbox logo

Answer 7

Honestly this is genius marketing

Answer 8

The song they've used just reminds me of the OG Satisfactory Trailer

Answer 9

I have a Ally X I wonder what's going to be the real difference

Comments

I guess only the visual of the handheld xd

Answer 10

Whoa that's nice. Because the actual rog ally x only plays some pc games, not every single xbox game. This is actually pretty cool.

Definitely sarcasm... @jb_terahertz this made me laugh so hard

Answer 11

"Freedom of Windows" is quite the statement.

Answer 12

Microsoft + Asus probabily this one will cost $800+, every pc gamer can confirm you that Asus love the "premium level" prices and well the other is Microsoft.

Comments

Well the Ally X released at 899 so.. yes most definitely.

Answer 13

They won me over with Steam but is the price cheaper than the steam deck? Most people are moving to Steam as their go-to for games for the simple fact you don't need to be a big name to publish a game and you can find tons of games for a good price. The only thing Xbox could do to get back on top is a Good UI and a Good price.

Comments

Its just a Windows handheld like all the others out now. Steam works on all of them because it's Windows.

---

It’s not going to be cheaper than a Steam Deck lol I don’t know why gamers are expecting these electronics to be cheap with the type of tech that they put into these.

---

Yeah its not gonna be cheaper but its gonna have game pass and steam which has ps exclusives

---

Man I hope it's the same as the steam deck oled. Hope Microsoft subsidizes it but after their recent price increases it's sadly doubtful. I have a rog ally x and it's the best gaming device I've owned.

Answer 14

Rog ally x price is $899. This will cost more.

Answer 15

My ROG Ally Z1 Extreme has yet to disappoint. This thing will be a beast

Answer 16

I’m actually hyped for this. Love my ROG Ally X and it definitely got me through some long plane rides. I am concerned about pricing what with all the blatant price increases recently so I’ll probably wait for a sale or a pre owned version if it comes to that

Answer 17

My Switch 2 just let out a huge sigh.. You had a short but good run, buddy

Comments

yeah what's funny is this things gonna be the double the price and that's being generous

---

Ehmm... nah... this ain't gonna sell big numbers. Gimme the sleek switch 2 over this bulky heavy 7 inch screen handheld. DLSS will do the job, cyberpunk 2077 and hogwards legacy look awesome

Answer 18

It looks like a trailer for Hollow Knight Silksong ❤

Answer 19

There is no mention of the epic games launcher, I was expecting it to be also part of the supported games launcher client.

Answer 20

"Freedom of Windows."

Ah yes, Windows... the OS that gives you "freedom". Yeah, if I do buy this thing, I'm installing Linux on it.
