During a series of in-person Xbox demos at the 2025 Summer Game Fest<\/a>, I got the chance to play Gears of War: Reloaded<\/em> on the company\u2019s upcoming handheld: the ROG Xbox Ally X<\/a>. The 7-inch screen looks gorgeous, and the game\u2019s remaster is a stunner no matter what size screen it\u2019s on (I also played it on some much bigger TV screens). But the most noticeable thing about the ROG Xbox Ally X was, unfortunately, how tired my forearms were after just 20 minutes of playing the Gears of War<\/em> remaster.<\/p>\n

Designing a handheld console is a tightrope walk. If I\u2019m playing at home, I want a device that\u2019s powerful enough to compete with my TV or gaming PC. If I\u2019m lounging on the couch playing your Switch 2 or Steam Deck, there needs to be a reason why I\u2019m not reaching over for the remote and just playing a game on the TV instead. For me, a handheld console also needs to be light enough that it feels truly portable \u2014 something you can throw into a purse or backpack and bring with you to a place where it won\u2019t<\/em> be competing directly with your TV or PC. So it needs to split the difference between being powerful enough to run contemporary AAA games and have them look great in comparison to your TV, and yet not so powerful that it weighs down your travel bag.<\/p>\n

Most important of all, no matter where<\/em> I\u2019m playing it, a handheld needs to be comfortable to hold for hours at a time. The original Nintendo Switch was no trouble whatsoever; it would be ages before you even notice its minuscule weight (although you sure might notice how few contemporary AAA games it can run). On a Steam Deck, I might feel that weight much sooner, the impressive processing power aside. And if it\u2019s the ROG Xbox Ally X \u2014 well, I haven\u2019t played it for long enough to know for certain, but I have held it and played a game on it for about 20 minutes, and it was already an issue even in that short time.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk ROG Xbox Ally X specs <\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Xbox Ally comes in two versions, just like the Xbox Series X and S consoles: There\u2019s a little one and a big one. As a proud owner of the Xbox Series S<\/a> (which I lovingly refer to as \u201cthe baby Xbox\u201d), I\u2019ll probably be fine with the smaller Xbox Ally. But the main reason I\u2019m saying that is actually the weight. Let\u2019s get into the numbers, shall we?<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Console<\/th>\nWeight<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Nintendo Switch + Joy-Cons (2017)<\/td>\n398 g (14.03 oz)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Switch Lite<\/td>\n275 g (9.7 oz)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Switch OLED + Joy-Cons<\/td>\n420 g (14.82 oz)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
LCD Steam Deck<\/td>\n669 g (23.6 oz \/ 1.47 lbs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Steam Deck OLED<\/td>\n640 g (22.58 oz \/ 1.41 lbs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Switch 2 + Joy-Cons<\/td>\n534 g (18.84 oz \/ 1.18 lbs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lenovo Legion Go (base module)<\/td>\n640 g (1.41lbs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROG Ally X (2024)<\/td>\n678 g (23.84 oz \/ 1.49 lbs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROG Xbox Ally<\/td>\n670 g (1.48 lbs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ROG Xbox Ally X<\/td>\n715 g (1.58 lbs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n

Looking up all of these numbers after the Xbox event was a comfort to me, because it made me feel like I wasn\u2019t imagining that the ROG Xbox Ally X was the heaviest one I\u2019d ever held. It will be the heaviest handheld on the market, once it reaches all of us this holiday season. (I did talk to an Asus representative at the Xbox event and told him my concerns about its weight, but I fully recognize it\u2019s probably too late for them to change it. Let it be known that I tried, though.)<\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting about this is that it might not actually bother that many other people who aren\u2019t me. This is a pretty subjective problem, and I would say it\u2019s somewhat gendered as well. There were lots of other reporters at this event with me, the majority of them men. I overheard many of them praising the way the Xbox handheld felt in their hands \u2014 \u201cjust like an Xbox controller.\u201d I can\u2019t disagree there; it\u2019s the right shape and absolutely does feel comfortable in terms of size and layout. But I wonder: Did any of those guys notice the weight? Or is that just a problem for somebody of my stature?<\/p>\n

The thing is, people of my stature do actually also play video games. And I play a heck of a lot of them in handheld format; I\u2019d say about 50% of the time I\u2019m on a big screen, the other 50% in handheld. I\u2019m still in LA at Summer Game Fest right now, but the first thing I\u2019m going to do when I get home tomorrow night is open my Switch 2 box and play Mario Kart World<\/em> \u2014 probably in handheld mode. And even though the Switch 2 is heavier than its predecessor<\/a>, I bet I\u2019m going to feel pretty relieved by how light it feels compared to the Xbox handheld I tried out yesterday.<\/p>\n

Inside the ROG Xbox Ally X\u2019s Windows OS<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All that said, there\u2019s a lot about the Xbox Ally that\u2019s very impressive. Unlike the Steam Deck, it uses Windows, and the Linux users reading this aren\u2019t going to want to hear what I\u2019m about to say, but that\u2019s going to be a preferable operating system for most people because it\u2019s so much more familiar. <\/p>\n

Over the years, I have managed to get quite a few games running on my Steam Deck that were not necessarily intended to run natively on that device, but it\u2019s taken some serious fiddling. By contrast, the Xbox Ally has Steam and Battle.net icons that you can just click on, as well as Discord integration. I can already tell it\u2019s going to be extremely simple to play tons of different games on there, without nearly as much fiddling as it took for me to get my Blizzard games working properly on my Steam Deck.<\/p>\n

The Xbox handheld is clearly designed with power in mind. It\u2019s heavy because it has a lot under the hood that helps games look great and run smoothly. That\u2019s certainly going to help it compete with the Steam Deck as well, especially as that handheld is increasingly showing its age. Put all of that together and it could make for an impressive holiday launch, even in the same year as the Switch 2.<\/p>\n

But every time I think about this device entering my home, I think about how my arms start to hurt when I\u2019ve been playing the Steam Deck for too many hours in a row. I think about how I sometimes have to rest my arms on a pillow and even then, it\u2019s not quite the right angle, and it\u2019s kind of annoying. It\u2019s not something that most buyers are even going to be aware of until they have the device in their hands, but if they\u2019re anything like me in terms of size and arm strength, it\u2019s going to be the very first thing they notice as soon as they take it out of the box. Microsoft can only hope that doesn\u2019t result in them putting that device right back into that box and slapping a return label on it.<\/p>\n
