Microsoft has finally revealed its highly-anticipated handheld console, years after it was first rumoured. The ROG Xbox Ally will let gamers access their Game Pass subscription library on-the-go, in effect meaning members will start off with hundreds of games.

About a month ago, images leaked of an Xbox-branded gaming handheld that looked a lot like an Asus ROG Ally. Now we know why. During a showcase livestream on Sunday, Microsoft's gaming division confirmed the device's existence in an official capacity.

This isn’t quite what we expected to see last year, but the ROG Xbox Ally still marks a new chapter in the rapidly developing “handheld war.”
