Following years of rumors, Microsoft today announced two handhelds for the gaming crowd under the Xbox brand. Coming in as a collaboration with ASUS, the new ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X are said to be aiming to "combine the power of Xbox with the freedom you expect from Windows."
The new hardware is built on the AMD Ryzen Z2 A (ROG Xbox Ally) and AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme (ROG Xbox Ally X) processors.
According to Microsoft, the Xbox Ally handhelds will be running optimized Windows 11 versions that offer quick and easy access to tools like Xbox Game Bar and ASUS’s Armoury Crate. The company also highlighted that being Windows means that any other storefront on the platform, like Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store, and Game Pass, will be available seamlessly.
The Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X are launching during the 2025 holiday season. Pricing details, accessories, and pre-order information will be coming later.
