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

Xbox is treating the ROG Xbox Ally like a true-blue Xbox, despite the fact that any regular console gamer might get confused when they load up their device and realize OneDrive and Microsoft Teams come pre-installed, and their Xbox-specific games cannot run on the handheld hardware Fucking Teams, ma

Do you guys take advantage of Xbox Play Anywhere if you have a PC?

Absolutely. I will always buy a game on Xbox if it’s Play Anywhere. My setup is built around it. PC in my office, Series X in the living room, ROG Ally X for on the go. Play Anywhere works like a charm.

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

I am so glad I chose the Steam Deck over the Xbox Rog Ally.

I choose an ROG Ally X because I wanted “a bigger battery”… I ended up getting a Steam Deck OLED as well later because I wanted the track pads. The interesting thing I found is that the deck is just SO optimised that the battery performance is the same as the Ally X is almost every game. Example, my

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.

Ist das Steam Deck 2026 noch der beste Handheld PC?

Kommt alles sehr auf deinen Geschmack und deine bestehende Library an. Meine Subjektive Wahrnehmung der Geräte: ROG Ally Z1E ~350€ Gebraucht gibt's das ROG Ally Z1E, welches mit Upscaling und einer (von einem selbst nachträglich verbauten) 80Wh Batterie einen gerne mal 4h Witcher 3 auf 1080p 60FPS s

Legion Go 2 (OLED VRR) vs ROG Ally X (LCD VRR): Is the gap as big as we think?

100%. I returned my Rog Xbox Ally X due to the screen size just not doing it for me (as well as the Windows OS just being a pain for handheld still). As soon as I used an 8" screen on the Legion Go S, I immediately felt the same. 8" is perfect size for all games without being so big it doesn't feel

ROG Xbox Ally X Z2 Extreme / Forza Horizon 6 Performance / SteamOS 3.8.4

Forza Horizon 5 ran flawlessly on the Rog Xbox Ally with no tinkering. I’m hoping Forza 6 would be almost the same.

NY Times: Steam Deck is the Best PC Handheld

I read through this article and their other best handheld article. They lightly mention they tested 20 different handhelds including MSI and RoG but only have information of their research on the Xbox Rog Ally X and Steam Decks. I get Steam Deck is the most simplistic for beginners, but it's no long
