Asus will get the Xbox FSE far sooner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/762116\/microsoft-asus-xbox-ally-handheld-release-date-compatibility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on October 16th<\/a> when it co-launches the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X with Microsoft, and then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/microsoft-xbox\/682463\/xbox-full-screen-windows-upgrade-ally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft\u2019s \u201cnext focus\u201d<\/a> will be bringing it to the original Asus ROG Ally and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24204770\/asus-rog-ally-x-review-handheld-gaming-pc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ally X<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Fingers crossed that a far lighter version of Windows will improve performance, like we\u2019ve seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/reviews\/704903\/lenovo-legion-go-s-steam-os-review-z2-go-z1-extreme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when running SteamOS on the same hardware as Windows<\/a>, and let these handhelds intelligently wake and sleep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/notepad-microsoft-newsletter\/763357\/microsoft-asus-xbox-ally-handheld-hands-on-notepad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">We\u2019ve already seen<\/a> the Xbox FSE can save memory and is easier to navigate with a gamepad, but Microsoft\u2019s only given us very limited time with it. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram
