Asus was already onto a good thing with the ROG Ally X, but the limitations of running Windows on a handheld device stopped it from achieving true perfection. With the Xbox Ally, however, that major drawback is starting to be erased. Thanks to this official partnership with Microsoft, the first ever Xbox handheld is rethinking its approach to Windows, and after getting hands-on with both the base model and the more powerful Xbox Ally X at Gamescom, I’m pleased to report that things feel slick in the UI department.
To set expectations, my time with both variations of the new Asus ROG Xbox Ally was limited – roughly 15 minutes with each device. In the case of the less powerful Xbox Ally, which was offering up large, demanding games such as Forza Horizon 5 and the new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 remaster, some fairly lengthy initial loading times ate into that time too. However, I was still able to get a good feel for each device.
