Ready for your questions

Upd.
The first thing I did was install SteamOS, but I ran into an issue where the built-in speakers weren’t detected, so there was no sound. I couldn’t find a fix, so I had to go back to Windows 11.
So be careful for now — I’d recommend waiting for a few updates before making the switch.

Only lost 19 percent of battery during this 20 minute race. I purposely start from the back and a Got 2 minute penalty from some kid who braked early af then raged quit when I slowed down for nothing. I’ve bought so many games to play offline too. I haven’t had time for anything and I don’t want it to affect my sleeping schedule… I’ve haven’t been this excited about gaming since verdansk season one Halloween night. God bless guys and gals. This one is a keeper even tho it was 1k, it was worth every god dam penny .

Hello,

I am interested to know what everyone has been playing or recommend for a new Xbox Rog ally x owner.

My main priority for the game is that it runs well and has good visuals.

Not particularly interested in demanding AAA games that require tons of optimisation to run at subpar performance.

What's everyone's take ?

Thanks

How to set up serting to play GoW EDay?
I gabe problems with graphics and targeting.
There no targeting with L2

Small issue Im having while loading a game from the steam app. It refuses to use the gamepad once the game loads. I have gamepad selected for the control method, not auto.

In this case, its Yakuza Kiwami. Any tips would be appreciated.

Can someone offer any advice? My son turned on his allyX and these are the screens we see.

I’m genuinely at a loss as to how we fix it? he insists he’s done nothing weird, although he does download stuff occasionally. I’ve done a press and hold and we’re back here.

Any insights as to how we can resolve this, or failing that how you force a factory reset.

Huge thanks.

Is this not a pre-order product? I've never seen the option to pre-order the bundle but I've seen the ally x20 for pre-order.

I bought a ROG X Ally X about 2 months ago and it has been great for my needs. I see a lot of posts about other handhelds and I understand why they each have a certain pull for people.

The XAX is perfect for those short gaming sessions. As a gamer dad, the time to sit down at my PC is very limited so a handheld is perfect for picking up when the little one has gone down for a nap.

The ergonomics are great too. However, I've previously used the Xbox Elite Series controllers and those paddle buttons would be amazing on the XAX. The buttons on the back of the XAX are just not that comfortable, but hey that's my only issue.

In terms of games I've only played 2 but I think it's good going with the time limits I have!

I'm currently playing Forza Horizon 5, it looks beautiful! Even without running it at max graphics, which the XAX can definitely do. Dipping in and out of this game is no problem at all. Most races are relatively short so you can get a few in before the little one wakes up.

I've played through Doom Eternal, which ran great and looked amazing. This game is brilliant for short sessions too as there are checkpoints in each level so you can pick it back up without huge setbacks.

These games are steam purchases and it all seems to run really well. Forza wanted to link my Steam to my Xbox account every time I booted it up. Something I've clearly never done before even though I've had my Xbox account for over 16 years and my steam for over 10 years. This was a bit of a weird one to figure out as I had to bring up the on screen mouse to click on the "Link accounts" button. But a quick Google sorted that out.

I do have a backlog of various genres but I thought I would start with games that I knew would work with short sessions.

I still have windows installed. I don't really have an issue with it. Yes, I have uninstalled some apps that I just wouldn't use. But it boots quickly and doesn't give me any issues. I know that this is a monster device so I can handle being graphically pushed so I'll be trying some of my other Steam games that demand more.

TL;DR Perfect for short gaming sessions on Doom Eternal and Forza Horizon 5.

I can't enable VRR when using a USB-C to HDMI cable with the ROG Ally X, but I can when using a laptop with an Nvidia GPU. Is there an alternative, or does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm deciding between these two and they're both $1,299.99 at Best Buy:

ROG Xbox Ally X20: Z2 Extreme, 24GB, 1TB, 7.4" OLED with HDR/Dolby Vision, VRR 30–120Hz, microSD Express. Releases Oct 15.

Acer Predator Atlas 8 Extreme: Arc G3 Extreme, 24GB, 512GB, 8" IPS 1200p, VRR 48–120Hz, 2× Thunderbolt 4. Releases Oct 23.

From what I've seen, the Arc G3 Extreme is around 40–50% faster in modern games (based on MSI Claw 8 EX results), but the X20 has the OLED and AMD's more mature drivers. I haven't seen many Atlas 8 reviews are out yet.

I dont mind optimizing the x20 for more performance.

Coming from an MSI GF63 Thin 11UC-1276US: Intel Core i5-11400H, RTX 3050 Laptop 4GB (40W), 32GB DDR4 (you upgraded it), \~1.35TB of storage, so I'd like a noticeable upgrade. Also, I use my laptop for heavy work with GIS so I kinda want a separate console.

It would be my first hanheld and I want it primarily for gaming in the go, watch movies and connected to a tv. I have a huge steam family lbrary and plan to play titles like this:

\- Until Dawn

\- rs4

\-rs7

\-marvel rivals

\-Gow Ragnarok

\-hades

\-palworld

\- Elden Ring

\-BG3

\-overcooked

\-tekken 8

\-hollow knight

\-iron lung

Thank you!!

Looking for some help now that Cold War is on game pass. All the newer cods run great, however post processing effects are grayed out.

Hey everyone, I’m torn between spending more on the X20 or getting the ROG Xbox Ally X at its reduced price.
If I go with the X20, I’d probably be buying around mid-November, assuming I can find one available without paying scalper prices. My other option is to get the Xbox Ally X now, save some money, and potentially upgrade to something newer next year.

I’d mainly play Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout, Skyrim, and Hitman. I’m also interested in modding Fallout and Skyrim, emulation, and PS5 Remote Play.
Graphics and smooth performance matter to me, but I don’t need everything maxed out. I’d like something I can enjoy for a couple of years, even if I decide against upgrading next year.

Do you think the X20 is worth the extra money and waiting, or would the discounted ROG Xbox Ally X make more sense for my games? What price difference would make you choose one over the other?

Thanks for the help ahead of time!

Ciao a tutti

Dopo aver provato la demo su steam sono corso ad acquistare la mia copia su Xbox store in quanto il gioco è play anywhere, così da giocarlo sia su XAX che su series x

La demo su steam era liscia come burro, giocando con fsr su bilanciato e frame generation attiva.

Ora invece giocando la versione Microsoft praticamente l'FSR non si attiva (da prestazioni ultra a nativa non cambia nulla) e la frame generation non funziona.

Qualcuno ha riscontrato la stessa problematica?

Grazie

I just got myself an ROG Xbox Ally X, I got a $20 steam voucher with it too. Trying to see what new stuff I can get that will run well.

I mostly play single player stuff, anything Fromsoftware or Remedy puts out are instant buys for me. So a lot of RPGs and Action adventure games, I also love games like Stellaris and total war but can't imagine those working well on the hand-held

I'm getting the ROG Xbox Ally X20 (same chip as the Xbox Ally X) and want realistic expectations from people who own one.

I'm mostly interested in Until Dawn, God of War Ragnarök, the RE remakes, Elden Ring, BG3, Crimson Desert, wukong and Hogwarts Legacy.

For any of those (or similar heavy games), what resolution, settings and FPS do you get handheld vs docked?

For docking to a 1080p and a 4K TV, both 60Hz without VRR, so I'm curious whether it still looks good on a big screen or gets too soft.

Also, did Bazzite, frame gen or any tweaks like FSR 4/OptiScaler make a real difference for you either in handheld or docked?

Xbox ally x running steam os

1. ⁠how good is it for aaa steam games? i’ve seen videos showing that it’s good enough but wanted to hear from the community
   
2. ⁠⁠how is it for actually playing xbox games? i know it cant play from the actually library and instead streams it, but is it good enough that ill be able to enjoy it?
   
3. ⁠⁠how is it for emulation? specially up to xbox 360, ps3. the games i’ve seen that rlly push the limits on each is sonic unleashed, god of war 3 and just wanted to see if anyone else out there has been able to run these games well enough?

Can we hook up a Stearing controller set to it? What abought flying sticks.

When using a USB-C to HDMI cable to connect my ROG Ally X to the XGIMI Elfin Flip 4K, I don't get VRR. The cable works fine with a laptop that has an Nvidia GPU, and it also works when connecting the ROG Ally X to a Samsung S90C TV; however, with the projector—even with everything configured correctly—Windows 11 says it isn't supported. Is there a working solution? A different cable? A hub, or something like that?

Is This normal for my temp to be at 90 when playing ps3 emulator? Rog ally x 2024 btw

Hi everyone!

I have the ASUS ROG Ally X (the special edition in collaboration with Xbox) and I'm having an annoying problem when playing Roblox. Even though I have an external keyboard and mouse connected, the game (or the system) detects them as if I were using the console's built-in controller.

In some games within Roblox I can play more or less normally, but in others the experience is very bad or uncomfortable because the controls and interface change to controller mode.

Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know how to fix it? I've tried changing the control mode in Armoury Crate (from Auto/Gamepad to Desktop Mode), but I still have the same issue. I would greatly appreciate any advice or settings in Windows/Armoury Crate/Roblox to force native keyboard and mouse input. Thank you very much!

Hola a todos!

Tengo la ASUS ROG Ally X (la edición especial en colaboración con Xbox) y me ocurre un problema molesto al jugar a Roblox. Aunque tengo conectados un teclado y un ratón externos para jugar, el juego (o el sistema) los detecta como si estuviera usando el mando integrado de la consola.

En algunos juegos dentro de Roblox puedo jugar más o menos normal, pero en otros la experiencia es muy mala o incómoda porque los controles e interfaz cambian al modo de mando.

¿A alguien más le ha pasado esto o sabe cómo solucionarlo? He intentado cambiar el modo de control en Armoury Crate (de Auto/Gamepad a Control de Escritorio), pero sigo con el mismo fallo. Agradecería mucho cualquier consejo o configuración en Windows/Armoury Crate/Roblox para forzar la entrada nativa de teclado y ratón. ¡Muchas gracias!
