The big reveal was portable gaming news, as Microsoft announced the Xbox app, Game Bar, and Windows OS updates that will arrive on two new ROG Xbox Ally handhelds. They’ll have a full-screen Xbox experience that’s supposed to make Windows more friendly to handhelds, and help them compete with the Steam Deck and other SteamOS-powered devices.

Not to be outdone by Sony's State of Play, Xbox rounded out the Summer Game Fest weekend with a showcase of its own. The Xbox Games Showcase was crammed with world premieres and previously announced video games reemerging with fresh footage.
