Real differences or clever rebranding?

3 days ago | laptopmag.com | Rami Tabari

(Image credit: Laptop Mag / Rael Hornby)Xbox cooking up a handheld gaming console became the best worst-kept secret in recent months, but the suspected and confirmed ROG Xbox Ally X was finally unveiled during the June 8 Xbox Games Showcase. At first, shoving "Xbox" in the name didn't sound so innovative. How does it compare to the Asus ROG Ally X? An Xbox button alone wouldn't be enough to get people to upgrade. But once we got a closer look, we realized that this isn't just a branded Ally X.

Steam users are flocking back to this once-hated game in huge numbers

The last thing I expected to wake up to this morning was over 30,000 players jumping to play one of the most hated AAA games in the past decade. If you don't already know, Star Wars Battlefront II is on sale on Steam for a measly $4. Clearly, that enticed some folks because the all-time high concurrent player count on Steam charts is over 35K, and that's just in the last 30 days. Previously, the peak was 10K. I've got to wonder, is the price really all that's driving players to Battlefront II?

We knew this was coming during the ROG Xbox Ally unveiling and Xbox's AMD partnership announcement. But it still feels like a dream. And yet, it's not only not a dream, it's currently a reality for Xbox Insiders. Well, those who have Windows 11 PCs and handheld devices.

Xbox PC app. Microsoft is making moves toward creating a more gaming-friendly Windows with the Xbox app taking on Steam in its aggregation. That’s right, you can jump into the Xbox PC app with Steam and Battle.net starting this week as an Xbox Insider, which you can jump into by downloading the self-named app and opting into the PC Gaming preview. Does this mean that Xbox will become the most-used PC gaming app? That depends.
