Microsoft Xbox Discussion Part II

Clickbait. Those games will be blocked just like when Sony found a way to stop people from playing shit through Nvidia.

It's partially.

This news comes courtesy of Game File which recently interviewed a Microsoft representative about if titles such as God of War will be available on the brand-new handheld.

The rep replied, “Because these handhelds run Windows, you have access to all the games you can play on Windows PCs.”

God of War is lame anyway. I'm excited for the "Halo to PS" news. The playerbase needs it and it's not 2010 anymore where it's Xbox Vs PS

So is it just a ROG Ally with Xbox branding or is it actually running Xbox OS?

I haven't looked into it as I am not interested in buying any handheld console.

Microsoft have apparently scrapped plans of their own handheld Xbox. Feels like they're seeing how this 3rd party one succeeds and how Steam works on it, so they can possibly include it on the next actual Xbox.

It's running a minimalistic version of Windows so it does not play Xbox games natively but it seems like they're working on Xbox emulation for Windows (not just this device) so in the future we might be able to play Fable II, Halo 5, etc on PC.
