I just reviewed the Xbox Ally, ask me anything

Hey! I’m Sean Hollister, and I’ve been The Verge’s unofficial handheld gaming PC reviewer since 2022, when the Steam Deck and kin took over my life. (I also helped launch this website back in the day!) And I’ve just spent the past week reviewing the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, Microsoft’s very first “Xbox” handhelds that are built and co-developed by Asus.

We’re doing a neat new thing where we let paying subscribers ask us anything about the hottest new gadgets, stories, and events — and I wasn’t about to let my colleague Jen have all the fun!

So I’ll be hosting my own subscriber-only AMA right here, and I’ll show up on launch day tomorrow, Thursday October 16th at 9am PT / 12pm ET to answer as many as I humanly can. After all, you subscribers are the ones paying to let me keep this awesome job! And I hear Tom might show up too.

You can start asking your questions in the comments right now in this post, and if you tune into that comment section live on Thursday, I’ll answer some follow-ups as well. But if something needs extra testing, please get those Qs in ASAP so I have a chance to check!
