Phil Spencer Says Xbox Has “More to Do” on Handheld Devices Like Asus Rog Ally to Better Gaming Experience

Xbox is trying everything it can to make sure the Game Pass experience is great on handheld PCs. Xbox CEO Phil Spencer recently revealed that the company is focused on trying to make the Xbox and Game Pass experience great for the ASUS ROG Ally.

Ever since Ally’s launch, Xbox has been vocal about its goal to make Game Pass titles run natively on the device. With a lot of discussion about how the ASUS ROG Ally may disrupt the handheld gaming PC market, Xbox’s revelations will keep fans on their toes.

Xbox leaves no stone unturned

The handheld PC industry has been experiencing serious turmoils in recent times. As desktop gaming parts and consoles are expensive for almost anyone, handheld PCs have come up as the weapon of choice for many gamers. Along with the Steamdeck, more and more such devices have become popular within the community. With this in mind, both Xbox and PlayStation have talked about their motives to run their games smoothly on such devices.

As Xbox is set to take over Activision-Blizzard, their attempts to be compatible with the ASUS ROG Ally only seem to solidify Microsoft’s position in the gaming industry. Along with new games announced, Xbox is also focused on gaming peripherals to draw more customers to its camp. Under such circumstances, Xbox’s renewed focus on the ASUS ROG Ally compatibility will be closely followed by the community.

Xbox CEO Phil Spencer acknowledges ROG Ally focus by Xbox

Every handheld PC available in the market right now runs on Windows 11, apart from Valve’s Steamdeck. This implies that these gaming consoles aren’t fit for a true Xbox-like experience. With Microsoft dishing out a new dashboard for its consoles, fans are curious whether the ROG Ally is likely to get an Xbox-like UI as well.

To the query, Xbox boss Phil Spencer replied by saying that the company has “more to do” on the Ally and Xbox is focused on improving its experience. While the Ally already has a pretty great Xbox experience, Spencer’s announcement has the community excited about the possibility of something even better.

In the wake of the ongoing console wars, this goal by Xbox is most likely to get the fans curious as to what plans are in the works.
