After rumors and leaks, it's official, Xbox and ASUS have partnered to create an Xbox inspired ROG Ally. With two models, the Xbox Ally and Ally X, players can get more storage and power from the X model (just like the X|S consoles). Here's the specs:

- Xbox Ally X - AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme with 24 GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

- Xbox Ally - AMD Ryzen Z2A component, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage.

Announced during Xbox's showcase, the reveal trailer also contained a game announcement tease, with Hollow Knight: Silksong clearly visible on screen, alluding to it being a day-one release. The handheld, and therefore Silksong, is expected to release this Holiday season. No price has been shared yet.

Xbox also reportedly delayed their own first-party handheld recently, choosing to double down on this partnership.
