Xbox Insiders: Try Highlight Reels on the ROG Xbox Ally X Starting Today!

Gabriel DesGarennes, Principal Product Manager at Xbox

As we shared alongside our announcement of the ROG Xbox Ally handheld devices last year, we’ll be introducing more features to the ROG Xbox Ally X over time. Starting today, we’re excited to invite Xbox Insiders to begin trying highlight reels, a new feature for the ROG Xbox Ally X that you can access via Game Highlights (Preview) in the game page of the Xbox PC app. This feature helps you easily capture your standout gameplay moments, like epic boss battles or victories, and share them as short replay clips with your friends online. With no additional downloads needed, highlight reels allows you to effortlessly clip memorable moments in-game without ever needing to leave your game so you can stay focused on the fun.

During this early preview, Xbox Insiders can try highlight reels with an initial selection of games, including Forza Horizon 5, Overwatch, and more. We encourage Xbox Insiders to try this new feature and provide feedback directly in the experience, via the Xbox Insider Hub, or using the reporting feature as we continue to explore, improve, and experiment with more ways to enhance gameplay experiences. Your feedback will help inform additional supported games and features in the future.
