The first Xbox-branded handheld console is here, but it’s not made solely by Microsoft. Instead, it's a partnership between Asus and Microsoft for a new version of the latter's ROG Ally handheld consoles,

The ROG Xbox Ally, built in partnership with ASUS, will arrive at the end of 2025. While it's late to a party that Nintendo and Valve have already made their own, this device might just be what Xbox fans have been waiting for.

Microsoft and ASUS have officially confirmed the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X gaming handhelds during the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest, marking Microsoft’s first official entry into the portable gaming market.
