Microsoft officially announced the release date of handheld game PCs, ROG Xbox Ally, and is actually named after ROG Xbox Ally X. Both devices can be used on October 16, but we still do not know the price. However, the portable game machine has found that its own itself has a steam deck verification system of the valve.
Microsoft and ROG’s teamups are a kind of stop gap attempt in portable Xbox. Microsoft has recently been promoted in ambiguous terms. This crossover with the already popular ROG Ally Windows 11 Machine is branded with the Xbox button, and more importantly, the new UI can be seen through the new UI, which simplifies the game pass, GOG and Steam games on the subway.
Today, Microsoft declared that on October 16, Microsoft announced that it would be able to catch both models on October 16, “in the next few weeks.” Nevertheless, we still have no price for any model. But rumors about potential costs continue to appear.
Currently, ROG ALLY comes with the AMD Ryzen Z1 processor and is $ 650. However, the default Xbox version will be a step up, featuring a new Ryzen Z2 with “8 threads and four Zen 2 cores with eight RDNA 2 GPU cores.” This sounds like a lot of threads and core. There are also 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD (not close enough. Calling). On the other hand, ALLY X will be beef to AMD Ryzen AI Z2 EXTREME. and It is extreme. “It features a new 8 -core/16 thread zen 5 APU with 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU core and 50 top NPUs, and it is a depressing thing to know what it means and gives you a deep feeling. Calling At once.

Xbox Ally has its own improved take on “Steam Deck Verified”.
When Valve’s Steam Deck was released, the company tried to create a system called STEAM DECK VERIED and could inform the owner if STEAM’s game could be run on the handheld. Some games require superior settings, but they are too often compromised to get “proven” status, but they were some kind of useful over many years. Nowadays, it’s less useful, but steam decks are aging. Microsoft is attempting to be similar to ROG XBOX ALLY, and in a system called HandHeld Compatibility Program, the company says, “DAY-ONE users will guarantee the best experience by optimizing thousands of PC titles for compatibility.” The label of the system has two layers: “mostly compatible” and “handheld optimization.”
“Handheld optimized means that the game has been prepared. It contains the appropriate resolution in the basic controller input, intuitive text input method, accurate method, clear text leg linea and full screen mode. Most of the compatibility is that the game may need a slight in -game setting for the best experience in the handheld. It means. “
Another neat feature is that the device preaches shaders while downloading the game. Therefore, after thinking that you are already ready, you don’t have to sit on a few minutes long road bar when you start the game for the first time. AI is used for upscaling and more ambiguous “highlight reels”, where it is considered to be considered “noticeable gameplay moment” and creates a shared clip. It would be fun to see what is nonsense.
Microsoft said it already has Gears of War: Reward It runs on an impressive new handheld.

Price rumors are already
According to an Ig reportMicrosoft said that the price of “macroeconomic conditions” cannot be announced yet. The device may be assumed that the device is already produced in this stage, so the cost will not surprise the company. The ASUS staff clearly suggests that Trump’s tariff jazz is a factor. Ig“We think that more time is needed to find out the price of the price of the price of the price. So we will share later in September and October.”
Trusted leaks claim that Billbil-Kun have numbers, but the general ROG Xbox Ally will be $ 549.99 and the ROG Xbox Ally X will be $ 899.99.

If ROG ALLY is currently $ 650 and runs in spherical technology, the default version looks low. But Microsoft can get a lot of money to get handheld and be competitive. The company has never made a centr in the Xbox console sales, and instead relies on software and subscription sales to make up for losses. ROG Xbox Ally will be essentially a portable Xbox store, so the company is very likely to make money through sales, and of course, the game pass premium subscription can make the machine worth. At the same time, serious PC players will recognize that 16GB RAM is at the lowest end of useful these days. Therefore, you will be tempted to rely on ALLY X, which is much more expensive to get 24GB RAM and quite fast interior.
If Microsoft and ROG want a good runway for pre -order before launch, it is unlikely that the official price is not obtained before October. I think it will appear in a few weeks, I think.
