PlayStation PC Games Run On The New Xbox Handheld

The just-revealed Asus ROG Xbox Ally portable gaming devices can run Microsoft’s PC games. But you might wonder if they can also handle PlayStation’s PC games, and the answer is yes, they certainly can.

Microsoft’s representative shared with Game File that since these handheld devices run on Windows, users can enjoy playing games available for Windows PC. This includes Sony’s computer releases as well. Some examples of Sony’s PC games they’ve put out so far are Days Gone, The Last of Us, Spider-Man, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Helldivers 2, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War Ragnarok, and more.

Furthermore, it’s anticipated that the latest ROG Xbox Ally devices can support PlayStation remote play from your PS5 console.

At the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft unveiled two new devices: The ROG Xbox Ally and the ROG Xbox Ally X. The standard ROG Xbox Ally is being marketed as a must-have handheld device, while the ROG Xbox Ally X is touted as an advanced version of this handheld, designed for hardcore players. Unfortunately, they haven’t revealed the pricing details as of now.

The upcoming handheld gadgets bearing the Xbox logo offer what’s known as the “complete Xbox screen experience,” and they will host PC games that users already own through Xbox, Game Pass, Battle.net, and other digital stores. These devices are branded under Xbox, boasting an exclusive Xbox button and a Game Bar overlay, enabling players to swiftly switch between apps and games.

After many hints and teasers, Microsoft officially announced plans for multiple Xbox-branded portable devices. However, those hoping for a dedicated Xbox handheld may need to brace themselves. Recent reports suggest that the development of an exclusive Xbox handheld has been halted.

It has been rumored that Microsoft is developing a new version of the Xbox console, which may include a portable device as part of its design.
