The ROG Xbox Ally will reportedly launch in October, but I'm still not convinced there's a good enough reason to buy it yet
Microsoft, and specifically the Xbox division, has been in a bit of a weird state for some time. With the pivot away from exclusives, a former Xbox team member declared "Xbox hardware is dead", and it's easy to see why. It is moving ever closer to becoming a third-party game publisher, and deals to make Xbox-branded Meta Quests and ROG Ally's certainly feel like moves made by a team slowly moving away from hardware.
Today, Dealabs posted a report claiming the ROG Xbox Ally would finally launch on October 16 this year (via GamesRadar).
