Xbox ASUS ROG Ally 2 Leck shows new PC -Gaming -Handheld -Design

A rumored Xbox -PC -Gaming handheld is leaked through thanks to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). No, not the device that is being developed internally and the Microsoft Gaming-CEO Phil Spencer has previously mentioned Was still removed for years. I speak of Project Keenan, the spirit of an Xbox handheld that is trapped in the shell of an ASUS -ROG ally, which will be released later this year. And that's exactly how it looks on the new leaks.

Photos of the devices taken by the FCC appeared online via online Video card. One showed a white Asus gaming handheld that is probably the ally ROG 2, and the other showed a black version with a dedicated Xbox button, which is probably the alternative with Xbox branded. Rumors about the device were previously reported by Windows Central And The VergE As part of Project Keenan, a new initiative in Microsoft, to try to connect his Xbox user experience seamlessly to the Windows Gaming operating system.

What is remarkable about the apparent Asus Rog Ally 2 is that its handles are more like controller paddling than the first model that had a much angular and box -shaped handle. It looked cool from stylistically, but maybe not the most ergonomic. However, the only real external difference between the two new models seems to be the color and the Xbox symbol insignia on the menu key. There seems to be no other frills in the body of the device to give it an Xbox atmosphere. This is a crap.

But the real draw of Project Keenan, if it works, will be what is going on at the software level. Earlier reports and some some Vague comments from Microsoft VP by Jason Ronald suggest the next generation The device offers an interface between Xbox Level above the Windows operating system carried out in the background, in order to achieve a much more well-known user-friendly experience outside of play. Think of Xbox Dashboard compared to a symbel base developed for mouse and keyboard.

In this way, Project Keenan sounds after a logical attempt to reconcile the two halves of Microsoft games and to form a bridge to a later PC -Gaming handheld that works like a console in his hands: ie a Nintendo Switch that can still play the latest games. Sony supposedly pursues something similar With a rumored handheld The fans hope that they may be able to play PS5 games. Valve steam deck, No sales jugis clearly one of the catalysts behind this new hardware shift and also has a big lead.

Of course, all of this in the USA will be a bit controversial if Trump's trade war with China continues. Microsoft has just raised that Price of the Xbox series X by $ 100 Because of tariffs. The same thing happens to the next fleet of ASUS ROG Ally Handhelds, Xbox-Branded or in other ways, her prospects would torpedo immediately. The entire handheld -gaming revolution could be canceled, at least in the USA we will probably learn more about Microsoft's Xbox Rog Ally 2 At his big summer game festival adjacent show case in June in June.
