Xbox Wire announcement
While the primary appeal of the ROG Ally is the ability to download and play games natively on the device, this is Windows, so Xbox Cloud Gaming is easily at hand: launchable from the Xbox app or by entering Xbox.com/play into the included Edge browser, you’ll be streaming games just a few seconds later. On my “pretty good but hardly Wi-Fi 6” network, Forza Horizon 5 played smooth and responsively. I very quickly forgot I was streaming, and even placed 1st in a technically demanding Rally Adventure race – something I’d consider an accomplishment on any device.
My Forza Horizon 5 cloud gaming experience doubled as a great reminder of the excellent speakers on the ROG Ally: the sounds of revving engines, skittering gravel, and Dua Lipa’s “Levitating” came through in a way that enveloped me in the game… and volume was only at 40%.
