The launch of the new Microsoft and ASUS Xbox ally Handhelds on October 16

Microsoft and ASUS make an appointment on them New Xbox Ally HandheldsOctober 16. Xbox ALY and Xbox ALY X will be available on the same day in a variety of markets all over the world, but Microsoft and ASUS are not opening up yet or revealing prices. Microsoft has also announced its mobile compatibility program to determine the improved games of the new Xbox ALY devices.

The leaks suggested that the Xbox ally will appear for the first time at a price of 599 euros (about $ 699) and the Xbox ally X model is one of the best line at 899 euros ($ 1,049). I understand that Microsoft and ASUS planned to announce Xbox ALY and Ride price today, but then decided to reveal the date of the release only. Microsoft is now promising prices and prior information “in the coming weeks”.

Delaying price information can be linked to leaks or constant uncertainty with the American tariff. Delabs I mentioned Yesterday, Xbox ally can be priced at $ 549.99 and Xbox ally X at $ 899.99 in the United States. It will be interesting to know if Microsoft and ASUS can support this more to release important Xbox devices.

On October 16, Xbox ally Handhelds will be available on October 16: Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, China (only Xbox ally x), Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, New Holland, New Zeland, Norway, Philipia, Purgal Romania, Shoded, Shodia, Siete. South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Türkiye, United Arab Emirates, UK, United States, and Vietnam.

This covers many major markets for ASUS and Xbox in Launch, and there are also plans to present this mobile in Brazil, India, Indonesia and Thailand. Rog Xbox Ally White Rog Xbox is designed for 720 pixels, targeting Rog Xbox Ally x Back Xbox ALY more powerful. Like Rog Ally Ally and Ally X, the new screen shares the same screen of 1080 pixels 7 inches, with a completion of update rate of 120 Hz and VRR support.

Xbox Ally Ryzen Z2 is used from AMD, with a slide, with 16 GB of RAM LPDDR5X-6400 and 512 GB of M.2 2280 SSD storage. Xbox ally X upgrade the slide to the AMD Ryzen Extreme processor from the AMD, 24 GB of LPDDR5X-82, and 1 TB 2280 SSD.

In addition to confirming the date of release, Microsoft has also announced its mobile compatibility program today. “We have worked with gaming studios to test, improve and check thousands of games for portable compatibility, allowing you to jump to the game without having to amend the settings, or only requesting slight modifications,” says Roanne Sones, CVP of Xbox games and ecosystem.

There will be two types of portable compatibility: improved by hand and mostly compatibility. Although the improved portable games will have virtual control unit inputs, accurate icons, the correct screen resolution in the mode on the full screen, most of them are compatible addresses “may require slight changes in the game for an ideal experience on Handheld”.

Microsoft will also distinguish games with the Fit Windows index, so you will get a benefit from knowing whether the game is compatible and overflowing. Each of the Xbox ALY devices with the Xbox experience will ship the screen that Microsoft is developing to improve Windows on mobile devices. This will lead to the default, with a Windows desktop baked away but is still available through an option at the Xbox Game user interface.

Microsoft is also improving the Shader Game’s experience on Windows, with the new “Advanced Advancement” feature. This will lead to the pre -download of gaming shading while downloading Xbox ALY, so you can launch some games faster and smoother operation without providing a Windows shading set. This is the key on a follower because it will help in the battery life and performance, but it is not clear toys that will support this yet.

Auto SRIt is NPU for high -end games, also reaching early 2026 on Xbox ALY X. Microsoft plans to use NPU on this device to provide a feature of the most prominent rollers that use AI models to capture the moments of play automatically and make them easily share with friends or on social nets.

Additional improvements will also appear on the atmosphere of Xbox ALY soon. Microsoft works “to enable a smooth and high -performance setting that supports large -screen games, Auto SR, a intuitive control unit, improved width and more,” according to Soanes.
