Honestly, took some tinkering - but 1-2 weeks later, this might be my favorite gaming purchase in 30 years. Literally able to play anything/everything and once configured, the UI flow is perfect. Great performance and the best ergonomics in any device on the market. Amazing.

Now struggling with letting them play the normal Battle Royale mode too ๐. Gonna see how it goes, my eldest already plays the Rivals game in Roblox so I am going to soft approve this for now.

Congrats man - you got 2 new people to join in this house! Woke up to two parental request emails to download Fortnite from their Switch's. Woke up and asked them why, both said they wanted to play the Simpsons world in the Lego game in it.
They went Roblox/Minecraft now to having Fortnite too.

Something is wrong because it became even less reliable on the previous Ally X too since the Armory Crate Update and Command Center overlay (on windows versions not even running XBOX FSE). It should seamlessly switch from Desktop to Gamepad mode with Auto settings and did previously.

I don't understand how Asus (this is more of an Asus thing than Microsoft) has broken the "Auto" Control Mode since the previous Ally X with these updates. It is the cause of most of the issues people are experiencing with controls "not working" when it just is stuck in gamepad mode vs desktop mode.

๐๐๐ let me just install Bazzite on it so you can have the best of both worlds, Dan.

FYI - If you want to make the icon experience on the XBOX FSE look a lot more uniform here is how I fixed it:

Just wait until her first organic multiplayer gaming session is playing some garbage Roblox game with their friends. I was so disappointed that I used to go to LAN's and this is their version of the same thing in 2025, sigh...

I was just talking to the Xbox hardware VP on Friday about how direct power state management would have made the original Ally X perfect. Hilarious as I was talking to him, they were already going to reveal this today. This looks perfect.

SteamOS on Handheld PCs! Bazzite Setup Guide
If anyone wants to know how to dual boot Windows and Bazzite btw, it is a lot simpler than it sounds. I used this video guide. With the new updates, system boots into SteamOS but when you want to boot into windows, you just select boot into windows with one button.

Also, ROG Ally X has double and sometimes triple the battery life in games then ROG Ally so that solves that problem.

What I have done with ROG Ally X:
1. Purchased the 2TB version
2. Partitioned the HDD into two 1TB each
3. Windows on one partition and Bazzite (SteamOS) on the other
Windows has Gamepass games I want to play installed plus Fortnite, Halo Infinite, COD: Warzone - Bazzite for everything else.

Greg just curious, was there a reason you chose this vs using the Ally X? I just bought one last week and am loving it, but wondering if you felt it was lacking vs playing this way on a plane.

Exact same experience. 2 cancelled Target orders, Walmart cart kick and then managed to get Best Buy after an hour (and a pro controller).
I remember the PS5 and Series X being pretty bad but also had Amazon as another option.

Now, the current trend seems overdone, without strategy & won't generate the same amplification by non-endemic channels, it's just part of the entire sponsorship suite that doesn't stand out. Trying something new with authenticity would be better. Hope someone else finds that approach.

WWE channels also amplified this across the board as a strategy bringing brand awareness to new heights to compete in the MMO genre with WoW's brand awareness dominance. It had ESPN, Bleacher Report and other non-endemic channels with articles/videos about an MMO's free trial and expansion release.

The New Day authentically being part of the show as true fans cosplaying the new classes in the MMO (especially Woods), amplifying it with multiple small easter eggs throughout the show (like a Moogle on their shoulders during Hardy Boys return, etc.)

It was a novel idea back in 2017, but the purpose then was at the same time removing the 14-day limit on the free trial as a new user acquisition campaign, bringing awareness broadly doing it to non-gaming channels.

Hmm, can I rant about this for a sec?
I think I ruined WrestleMania videogame advertising by starting the trend of opening the show taking over with Final Fantasy XIV. It was the first time a video game brand partnered with the WWE to that degree.
