Valve’s biggest win with the Deck

That's their secret of success, and why it endures despite so many more powerful devices like the Legion Go or the Rog Ally X. They sold Steamdecks at a fraction of what they could, they keep it up-to-date, they have excellent customer service, and they made the process of purchasing games easy and

Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone

Between the Switch 2, Xbox Rog Ally X and Steam Deck, it feels like the market is filling up slowly with more handhelds, which can only be a good thing imo. Developers will hopefully be more likely to make settings or even entire games that benefit these systems more and more.

Imma say it... this is the best Forza map of all-time and the DLC is still coming

Interesting comments so far. Game is smoother than FH5 and menu navigation seems thought through. Experience on ROG Xbox Ally X and my series X comparitively is closer than it was on FH5. The dynamics between the two systems on FH5 was difficult to get used to. Only about 3 hours of actual driving s

which is the better deal?

Thr Xbox Ally will have better ergonomics and 50% bigger battery The ROG Ally will have much better performance. 50-100% depending on the game. I would get the ROG unless you only want to play indie and lighter games.

Xbox but not Xbox

No idea wtf the other person is talking about but Xbox has been going off the deep end lately with their new price increases, causing a huge uproar. 7 year old consoles are somehow getting their prices raised 50-100 bones, Game Pass getting a huge price hike so many are unsubscribing, the ROG Ally X

Valve Says It's 'Hard at Work' on Steam Deck 2, but There's Still No Release Window

At same the wattage this is true but the nice thing about the Z2E handhelds is that they often have much larger batteries than the Steam Deck. The Ally X & Xbox ROG Ally X for instance has a 80W battery which is 60% higher than the Steam Deck OLED’s so you can play at a much higher wattage than the

New ROG Xbox Ally Updates: Docking Improvements, Auto SR Preview, Collective Library, Enhanced Vibration, and More

As ROG Xbox Ally X owner, these are all great changes. The only thing left I wish they’d address is gamepad responsiveness in the Xbox UI, especially coming out of sleep. It’s nowhere near as fast as console.

It's Official: Xbox Has a Full-Blown Identity Crisis

I do not think you highlighted the handheld situation enough: The Asus ROG Xbox Ally non-X (with Z2 A chip) is the weakest of the bunch followed by the Asus ROG non-Xbox Ally non-X (with Z1 non-Extreme chip), but I think they are not worth purchasing or thought at all because the Steam Deck is cheap

How the hell does this game run?!

Something so small did, and would still, require its own dedicated library of games in order for them to run on such a small device. Even the gigantic handhelds today can't run full console/PC games without significant settings changes and lower resolutions. And the higher the settings, the faster y
