Xbox Ally X vs. Steam Deck - Which Is Right For You? (Feat. NerdNest) | The Game Informer Show
It's another week of The Game Informer Show, and we've got plenty of games to dig into. But first, Bill from NerdNest joins us to discuss his impressions of the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X, the latest PC handheld to hit the market. Is it worth the price tag, or is a different portable PC more your speed?
Alex, Marcus, and Eric also dig into Ball X Pit, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, Battlefield 6, Bye Sweet Carole, and the early hours of Pokemon Legends: Z-A. It's a packed episode, so grab a warm beverage and get cozy.
