Episode #574: It’s been a massive week for Xbox fans — between the launch of the ROG Ally X handheld PC and the surge of Battlefield 6 reviews, everyone’s asking the same question: what’s hype and what’s actually real? In this episode, we break down how the Ally X is reshaping portable Xbox gaming, where it outperforms expectations, and where it still struggles to feel truly “console-like.” From frame rates to comfort to compatibility, we put it all in perspective for gamers wondering if it’s worth the upgrade.On the other side of the battlefield (literally), Battlefield 6 has finally landed — and it’s off to a hot start with over 6 million copies sold, a big chunk of them on Xbox. But does it live up to the franchise’s promise? We dive into early player reactions, critical reviews, and the real-world gameplay experience to find out if DICE finally nailed the formula or just repackaged nostalgia under a shinier engine.
