As part of today’s information blowout on the ROG Xbox Ally, we finally have some direct feed footage of the system UI to look over; showcasing Microsoft’s streamlined handheld gaming experience on Windows.

This is all very reminiscent of the current Xbox PC app, but still, it’s good to see it all running smoothly on the ROG Xbox Ally here. The video up above starts with Microsoft’s overview trailer — which contains a few snaps of the UI — and if you skip to roughly the 12-minute mark of the video, you can see the hosts showcasing some extended direct feed footage while playing with the device.

The clip also gives us a brief look at some of the modes that are present on ROG Xbox Ally, such as ‘Turbo’ for the highest fidelity possible, ‘Performance’ for a balanced experience, ‘Silent’ for slowing down that fan speed to keep things quiet and more. It all looks pretty sleek if it works this well in real-world conditions!

Finally, Xbox Wire also also listed a bunch of ROG Xbox Ally software features in a new blog post on the device – which we’ll chuck down below as well to remind you of its capabilities.

• The Xbox full screen experience, a dedicated experience purpose-built for gaming, powered by Windows 11, and inspired by the console user experience. With new modifications that minimize background activity and defer non-essential tasks, more system resources are dedicated specifically to gameplay.

• A dedicated Xbox button opens an enhanced Game Bar overlay for Windows 11, making it easy to return home, browse your library, launch or quit games, chat with friends, access ROG’s innovative Armoury Crate SE, and more.

• An aggregated gaming library gives you quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass (where available), and installed games from Battle.net and other leading PC storefronts.

• Ability to play natively, via the cloud (where available), or via Remote Play from your Xbox console anywhere in your home.

• AMD processors that deliver premium gaming performance—the AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor in the Xbox Ally balances performance and power consumption to maximize battery life without sacrificing gameplay quality, while the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor in the Xbox Ally X provides the best level of performance and visual settings.

• Through our investment in Xbox Play Anywhere, with support for over 1,000 games, a single purchase means you can play with Xbox, including your progress and achievements, across Xbox console, PC, Xbox Ally (where available), and other Windows handhelds—at no additional cost.

• Gaming Copilot (Beta) via Game Bar, a personalized AI gaming companion that helps you get to your favorite games faster, improve your skills, and offers context-aware support based on what you’re playing.
