We do get news about some features, though. Notably, Asus and Microsoft will launch a Handheld Compatibility Program along with the devices. Just as Valve has badges for "Great on Deck" and "Playable" for its Steam Deck device, games will be labeled "Handheld Optimized" or "Mostly Compatible."

At Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, Microsoft and Asus are giving players a chance to wrap their mitts around the strange Xbox controller-like grips of the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X.
