Both handhelds allow players to play natively, via the cloud, or remotely with their Xbox console in another room. Packed with innovative features, both models promise a full Xbox interface on the go, giving players access to their entire game library across major PC storefronts.
Built on Windows 11, the devices have been fine-tuned for intuitive control right from the first boot. Microsoft has enhanced the user experience with an optimized Game Bar that allows users to easily launch or exit games, chat with friends, manage apps, and adjust system settings. A key addition is the integration of ASUS’s Armoury Crate, which brings quick access to performance and input controls directly through the Game Bar. Even navigation elements like the lock screen and App switcher have been redesigned for smooth controller-based operation.
Since both handhelds run on Windows, users can go beyond traditional console gaming. The Xbox Ally series supports third-party apps such as Discord, streaming platforms like Twitch, and even game mods—offering the full flexibility of PC gaming in a compact form factor.
Handheld gaming is further enhanced by Xbox Play Anywhere, which supports over 1,000 games with cross-platform play and synced achievements at no extra cost. Whether on console, PC, or cloud, your game library and progress carry over to the Ally devices. Support for Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) and Remote Play also lets players access their full Xbox console library anytime, anywhere.
