After years of rumors, Microsoft has announced its first real portable game consoles: the ROG xbox Ally and Ally X. The portable consoles must appear at the end of 2025 and give access to your full Game Pass library, allowing you to play hundreds of games on the road. A price is not yet known.
Microsoft is not the first major player in the field of portable consoles. The Nintendo Switch dominates that segment has been confirming that position since 2017 and the recently launched Switch 2. Valve also came earlier with the Steam Deck, a powerful device on which PC games can be played via Steam.
Yet Xbox promises something new: full integration with Windows. As a result,users can not only play game pass games,but also titles of other platforms such as Steam or EA Play.
Heavy console, many new games
The device comes in two versions: a basic variant with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, and the more powerful ‘X’ version with more memory, storage and battery life. Those factors do come with a disadvantage: the weight. With 670 and 715 grams respectively, both models are heavier than the Switch 2, which weighs 534 grams.
During the Xbox event, 17 new games were also announced that will be available instantly via Game Pass. Think of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, Outer Worlds 2 in Call of duty: Black Ops 7. Also the long -awaited remake of Persona 4 was confirmed.
