The ROG Xbox Ally X Makes Me Want to Play More PC Games

The $1,000 ROG Xbox Ally X runs a full Windows PC gaming library but faces issues with buggy interface and display quality, offering strong performance on lightweight games.

  • ROG Xbox Ally X review evaluates whether the $1,000 handheld is worth it, calling it an impressive leap and one of the best PC gaming handhelds.
  • As a first-of-its-kind Windows handheld, the ROG Xbox Ally X features Xbox app and Game Pass integration with three months of Ultimate and comes alongside the lower-cost base Ally model.
  • Benchmarks show the Ally X hits over 360fps in Hades 2 and delivers roughly three hours of playtime with its 58 Wh battery, according to testing.
  • For prospective buyers, the $999 ROG Xbox Ally X suits serious gamers with dense PC libraries, while the base Ally fits lightweight or streamed games.
  • However, reviewers note the Ally X uses an LCD rather than OLED, lacks HDR, suffers from buggy Windows 11 Xbox UI, and suggest the Lenovo Legion Go S as a less expensive alternative.
