Asus and Microsoft will be launching their ROG Xbox Ally series of handheld gaming PCs starting October 16, according to an Asus announcement that went out today.
Like the ROG Ally, the Steam Deck was conceived as an on-the-go alternative to a powerful gaming PC. With its portable, Microsoft is targeting “people that already own Xboxes and potentially a PC”, said Christopher Dring, founder of the specialist website The Game Business.
The engineers on Microsoft's DirectX team are always busy bees, constantly working on one improvement or another. Today, the team announced that it's taking initial steps to get rid of a perennial annoyance in PC gaming: shader compilation waiting times and stuttering.
