Xbox set to release new handheld console
Share this @internewscast.com

Xbox has unveiled its first-ever handheld gaming console, a collaboration years in the making with computer company ASUS. 

It’s been long rumoured and hinted at for months now, but it was all finally revealed during Monday’s Xbox Games Showcase.

There are two versions of the new Xbox handheld: ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X.

The standard Xbox Ally is equipped to handle all the newest Xbox games, boasting the latest AMD processor. The X model acts as a pro version, offering higher specifications and increased storage—and the pricing will reflect these enhancements.

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen Z2 A Extreme
  • RAM: 16GB LPDDR5X-6400
  • Storage: 512GB
  • Display: 7″ IPS touchscreen, 120Hz refresh rate
  • Weight & Size: 670g / 29.08 x 12.15 x 5.07cm
  • Battery: 60Wh
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme
  • RAM: 24GB LPDDR5X-8000
  • Storage: 1TB
  • Display: 7″ IPS touchscreen, 120Hz refresh rate
  • Weight & Size: 715g / 29.08 x 12.15 x 5.07cm
  • Battery: 80Wh

I feel it’ll be a true contender in the handheld space, right up the with the Steam Deck, ROG Ally and Legion Go — only time will tell.

If you’re familiar with the ROG Ally devices, expect a comparable experience. Xbox aims for users to launch directly into the Xbox user interface right from startup. Nevertheless, it is also compatible with Steam, allowing access to your entire library there as well.

How much is the new ROG Xbox Ally?

We haven’t been given pricing details yet. The current generation of ROG handhelds is being sold for around $1599. At this cost, it may not attract a broad consumer base. However, if the price is closer to that of the Steam Deck, this handheld could become a formidable competitor.

There’s no official release date just yet but we can expect it before Christmas this year.

In addition to the news around the handheld, Xbox also unveiled dozens of new games coming to console and PC.

Some of the highlights include Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, Clockwork Revolution, Keeper as well as the news that Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is on the way. 

There’s also big updates coming to The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76.
