Microsoft finally enters the laptop with Rog Xbox Ally

Microsoft is finally shooting his shot for the portable games. During the summer game festival of June 8, the company made its debut with a console with a Lowing trailer: A floating block of ice is formed in the palming before the Xbox logo breaks and the system comes to life. Not only one, but two – the ally of Rog Xbox and its most powerful variation, the ally of Rog Xbox – – essentially a set of discharged controller comically linked to a large screen. Both should arrive in this season of the holidays, even if details such as prices, accessories and pre -orders have not yet been announced.

It was a long wait for a real Xbox palmare. While competitors such as Nintendo, Sony and Valve have already established portable or hybrid console in some form, Microsoft has been slower to commit to playing on the road, a move he has coastal A competitive advantage against the switch or deck of steam. For a company that has put strong emphasis on “Xbox everywhere”, its lack of a console that you could actually play wherever it was a great supervision.

The allied consoles, which are made with the Asus electronic manufacturer, will finally allow people to play through remote game, the cloud game or the same laptop. Both will perform Windows 11, where your mileage can vary according to your feelings regarding the Divisive OSthat critics described as “So I became DANG DANG“For things such as pop-up ads and a bad start menu. It will give players access to PC games, use mods and apps such as Discord and Twitch and includes accessibility features found on Xbox. Fans will also be able to play from Xbox, PC Storefronts, Game Pass and Battle.net, which will synchronize everyone between coupons, PC and Gamend Cloud.

In an interview with Point Last year, Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer CEO said the company “learned from what Nintendo has done over the years with Switch”. He also expressed admiration for the deck of steam, the Rog Palare and the Lenovo portable legion. Previously, a loss from Microsoft himself in September 2023 included information on a “hybrid game platform”, then scheduled in 2028. When X allowed users to see others I like it on the posts, Xbox Fan took note of Spencer I liked the tweets This declared an “inevitable” Xbox palmare.

The race to make the consoles more powerful than they have never been – or compete with the PCs – has not been so exciting, since the technology has constantly improved in the last decade. Instead, it is the console that you can play on a plane or bed, everywhere without a television configuration, really – which seems really attractive. My Xbox Series X spent most of her life to launch on my shelf and collect dust while my switch is a must for every trip I do. Breakout titles such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 He briefly brought me back to my Xbox, but I, like many other players, want that moving option.

So far the impressions of the PDA have been largely positive. “He worked well, I felt good in my hands … the controls looked like the Xbox controller sockets,” he wrote Gamefile. “The gameplay was clear and clear.” Ign He praised his gaming experience, but he also noticed that the user interface could be more intuitive. A writer of The guardian They said that “they can easily see it become a serious competitor both for the switch 2 and for the deck of valve steam”.

Microsoft is entering the market at a time when you can play most of the main video games on the one hand or another. With Switch 2 outgoing now, Nintendo already has a jump during the Christmas holidays and any potential rates or production problems that may occur.

But Microsoft has no lack of games. During the Xbox summer showcase, the company also showed its next release program, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, The Outerworlds 2A Person 4 remake, e Empty knight following Silksong. The ally will be launched with the enormously popular Roblox, the first time the game will ever be available on a palm. That strong game library could give Xbox the leg he needs, or at least a possibility of combat.
