The Xbox Ally X is a new handheld gaming device developed in collaboration with Asus, positioned as an alternative to the Steam Deck and the upcoming Switch 2. It includes the ROG Xbox Ally and the Xbox Ally X. The device is noted for its comfort, with hand grips designed to resemble an Xbox controller, making it more enjoyable to hold compared to the Steam Deck. During a demonstration, gameplay with Gears of War: Reloaded was smooth, and the ergonomic design of the Ally X potentially improved performance. The device's weight is comparable to the Steam Deck, and it offers a significant difference in comfort during extended play sessions. The user interface and navigation between Xbox and Steam games remain unexplored, but the device's comfort and portability suggest it could be a favored option for on-the-go gaming.
