ROG Xbox Ally handheld gaming devices are real and coming this holiday

We're been hearing rumors for what feels like an eternity about Microsoft working with ROG on a gaming handheld device and we got confirmation during the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest. There are two variants of the handheld: the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X.  Microsoft didn't reveal pricing, but the handhelds are coming this holiday. Details on how much the systems cost, pre-orders, accessories and more are coming soon, the company said. The Xbox Ally will initially be available in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and, shockingly enough, the US. Xbox head Sarah Bond says that every game included in the showcase will be playable on the Xbox Ally, but didn't make clear whether those would all run natively on the devices. The reveal trailer also included a notable focus on Hollow Knight: Silksong, for what it's worth.
