According to our information, the ROG Xbox Ally X consoles will be officially launched on October 16, 2025. This date currently applies to the European market, and although it is very likely, it remains to be seen whether other regions will benefit from a simultaneous launch.

What's different between this and the other 20 handhelds on the market?

There's an "Xbox" sticker on it

So it will be a commercial failure.

modified version of windows that doesn't launch into the desktop and saves multiple GB of memory compared to normal windows

You guys never give up eh?

Launching a new Xbox branded whatever in Europe is a brave move.

Which should actually be the most important and interesting thing every time a device with these features is announced...

Then, the fact is that there aren't 20 other handhelds with the technical specifications of that RoG Xbox Ally either.

Slightly better than last years ROG Ally X.

Any word on the gaming OS being released for other things?
I could use a clean install on my Desktop.
The thought of redownloading 2TB of games is a bit daunting, but would be faster to download than to use a portable spinning HD.

Just wait, this thread is gonna go places, lol.

If the X version had a larger+better screen than my current Ally X, I'd buy one. It doesn't, however, and they've said the current Allys will get the modified version of Windows, so there's zero reason for me to buy one of these, sadly.

Nice handhelds, let down by the rather small screen size. The MSI Claw A8 seems a better buy if you want a Z2 Extreme handheld (assuming you install SteamOS/Bazzite as MSI Windows software is truly dogshit)

Probably not cause they'll make like 50k at a time and it'll sell at a profit with no subsidizing.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

a worthy contender against The Switch 2

Which means we are getting Silksong before October 16

8" on the Switch 2 seems nice. Anything smaller is a disappointment.
