Nah but all jokes aside, the "Xbox" label to this is deceptive.

This being called "Xbox" probably has some folks thinking they're about to eat with "xbox" games portably but in reality it's just a Windows handheld with the logo.

GTA 6 will not be playable portably anywhere cept for PS Portal or Chiaki on Steamdeck. If the game isn't on PC or not "play anywhere" then you're fukked.


Next handheld I'll buy is either a Switch 2 or the rumored PS6 handheld.

Dudes spending 1k and not knowing what they buying is a new level of cope.

You can literally get a Sw2 and a base model SD and still have enough left to get at least a game or 2 for the same price as this

You can get a Sw2 and OLED SD for $50 more assuming this is $900

I had a steam deck and its a great device and still probs the overall best value.

IDK I truly don't feel like playing intense shyt on a handheld often. I did do some farming on Elden Ring back in the day but those are big screen titles, any thing else a deck can handle easily already (jrpgs, emulators)

If I need all that power portably I'll just use a laptop plus pad

Did you emulate on your SD?

That’s the main reason I want a handheld PC. Do you recommend it or should I get another device like ROG, MSI Claw, Retro pocket 5 etc?

SD isn't as powerful as these new shyts but its probably the best per price and ease of use.

its pretty easy to put the emulators on that shyt.

It’s more difficult/work to put emulators on the others like ROG Ally, Claw, etc?

Also what you know bout the Retroid Pocket 5?

You use to using Windows and/or Linux (say installing an app)? If so, doing all that should be a breeze for you.

If you go with the RP5, you'll wanna get the grips for sure. If you're considering that one, it's worth spending the extra $100~ for the Odin 2 Portal, get you that OLED + a larger screen.

EmuDeck installs all those emulators for you (and Switch if you switch to classic view).

Works on SD and the Windows handhelds.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but isn't the Xbox Ally and other Windows handhelds able to do remote play off the consoles?

So it should be able to stream GTA 6 as long as it's purchased on console, same as the Portal.

I dunno if you've done the console streaming, but even in an optimized home network like mine it was not good. I can't imagine the shyttery it would be to try it outside the LAN.

Unless they've changed the performance of it for the better, I strongly suggest not relying on the console streaming.

Yeah you can stream from the Xbox to Windows so it will work on this. I was referring at the time to people thinking they will be able to play the game natively on this because it says “Xbox.” As in owning it on Xbox and thinking they will download it and play on the Rog Xbox Ally.
