Xbox officially unveils gorgeous new console, coming sooner than we imagined

New Xbox hardware looks lush

So, Microsoft isn't developing their own handheld, however, they have teamed up with ROG, to make an Xbox branded ROG Ally, boasting an Xbox button, focusing on the inclusion of Xbox Game Pass.

It's an ideal way to do things, really, considering it means they don't have to create the hardware themselves, instead pairing with another developer. It is called the Xbox Ally, and it will play all Series console games, as well as titles bought on Steam, GOG, of Windows.

The most important questions are yet to be answered, such as cost, though we did get a brief look at the specs inside, with AMD graphics, much like the standard ROG Ally.

We assume that the games you've bought on Xbox will be downloadable, or you can play via the cloud, should you choose to.

Pushing into the handheld market has been on Microsoft's radar for the past year or so, and they've been seen shopping around for developers to partner with.

While we thought that was simply for a new chipset, it seems they instead found a company to make the console, while they handle the games and subscriptions.

The biggest news here, is that the console will be out later this year, as it was teased the Hollow Knight: Silksong will also be available at launch, and both were said to be on the way in 2025.

Fingers crossed that the Xbox Ally will be with us for Christmas 2025, but the price will be key. The standard ROG Ally is already over £500, so it could be a big ask to get users to hand over that much cash for a portable Xbox.

However, the ROG Ally packs a punch, and runs most AAA games gorgeously, so at least it will really showcase the Xbox catalogue.
