- Microsoft brings a massive update to its Xbox Windows 11 application for its new Rog Xbox Allhed Allied Allied
- The new “complete experience” will help rationalize games for pocket users with a portable user interface
- He will arrive in other Windows 11 portage computers in 2026
Microsoft has sought ways to improve the gaming experience for portable users, after recent reception and Valve praise that Steamos received for its performance on Windows 11 – and it seems that Microsoft has made its first major jump by doing so.
As indicated by The Verge, the Rog Xbox Ally and Rog Xbox Ally X will include a new “full -screen Xbox screen” offering a user interface of user -friendly pockets, which will also make its way to other Windows 11 hands in 2026. All games from other stores and applications such as Discord, Battle.net, Steam and other game launchers will be accessible via the Xbox application Touched.
It’s been a long time, because portable users aspire to an improved portable version of Windows 11 for the game, similar to Steamos de Valve; The idea is to create a simple start -up and game experience, without navigating to other launchers to find games. Essentially, this creates an all-in-one hub for the game and removes many pop-ups and frequent window notifications.
The biggest question may be the impact it will have about performance and that it corresponds to Steamos or exceeds it. In addition to the disadvantages of Windows 11 in ease of use, performance is currently the other strong attraction of steamos for pocket users.
Fortunately, Brianna Potvin of Xbox software engineering, said that 2 GB of memory will come back in games as a new full screen mode – and it is planned that we will see other improvements when it is available for the Rog Xbox ally.
Analysis: portable games in 2026 and beyond seem brilliant
With the MSI Claw A8 using Ryzen Z2 Extreme of AMD and the Rog Xbox ally using the Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, both which should be launched this year, it is a strong indication that 2026 and beyond could be excellent for portable players.
MSI has already left a strong impression with its CLAW 8 AI +, presenting the efficiency with ideal game performance results at a TDP 17W – and all this is possible thanks to the Intel Ultra 7 258V basic processor. The Extreme Z2 Extreme processors of Team Red (in particular the version of the AI) should challenge the Lunar Lake Soc, while anticipating Panther Lake and Medusa Point coming from Intel and AMD respectively, to push things further.
The ally Rog Xbox and the CLAW A8 will not be the only extreme pocket computers to the extreme Z2, because we are still waiting for the Lenovo Legion Go 2.
The more pocket computers there are, the better, and I am delighted to see how these mobile processors can offer high -level play performance.
