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

Valve’s biggest win with the Deck

That's their secret of success, and why it endures despite so many more powerful devices like the Legion Go or the Rog Ally X. They sold Steamdecks at a fraction of what they could, they keep it up-to-date, they have excellent customer service, and they made the process of purchasing games easy and

Witchfire director says “everybody should attempt to support” Steam Deck as it just makes games better for everyone

Between the Switch 2, Xbox Rog Ally X and Steam Deck, it feels like the market is filling up slowly with more handhelds, which can only be a good thing imo. Developers will hopefully be more likely to make settings or even entire games that benefit these systems more and more.

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.

Valve Says It's 'Hard at Work' on Steam Deck 2, but There's Still No Release Window

At same the wattage this is true but the nice thing about the Z2E handhelds is that they often have much larger batteries than the Steam Deck. The Ally X & Xbox ROG Ally X for instance has a 80W battery which is 60% higher than the Steam Deck OLED’s so you can play at a much higher wattage than the

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

ROG Xbox Ally World Premier Reveal Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase

Would've been hyped for it if it had some sort of Xbox OS, but a rebranded/slightly different form Rog Ally isn't all too exciting.

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

The screen is actually great?

Even the next ROG Ally X by ASUS and Microsoft which costs $700-$1000 doesn’t have an OLED VRR screen because it doesn’t exist (edit: and ASUS has confirmed that they weren’t willing to compromise on VRR to put an OLED panel in there). I don’t know why people seem to be holding Nintendo to a standar
