We're been hearing rumors for what feels like an eternity about Microsoft working with ASUS' ROB division on a gaming handheld device and we got confirmation during the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest.

The ROG Xbox Ally is the base model, while the Xbox ROG Ally X will have beefier specs. The devices will aggregate players’ existing Xbox and Windows gaming libraries together, and for the launch Microsoft is helping to get Roblox playable as well The handhelds support remote play and cloud gaming as well.

One of the key differences between these handhelds is that the ROG Ally has an Armoury Crate button while the Xbox Ally has an Xbox button. Both programs can be used to launch games, adjust settings, and more.
