The ROG Xbox Ally is the company’s answer to the Steam Deck, the super popular PlayStation Portal, and the shiny new Nintendo Switch 2. Sure, the handheld may continue Xbox’s terrible name conventions (ROG Xbox Ally X/ROG Xbox Ally X don’t exactly roll off the tongue). The ROG Xbox Ally could mean Microsoft is finally getting serious about improving the user experience of its PC gaming app. I’m going to go out on a limb and say the ROG Xbox Ally X won’t be perfect at launch. But paired with the right price point and post-launch support, ROG Xbox Ally could become the most compelling Steam Deck competitor on the market today.
