We've been hearing rumors for what feels like an eternity about Microsoft working with ASUS' ROG division on a gaming handheld device, and we got confirmation during the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest.

Xbox players will soon get the freedom to play anywhere with two handheld consoles that Microsoft plans to release this holiday season.

There are two versions of Microsoft's console: the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X Both versions feature a 7-inch 1080p display. The base model includes 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, while the higher-end "X" version doubles the memory and storage, and gets a larger battery and more powerful chip.
