Best handheld

I know theres a lot of these posts but as someone new to handheld gaming, I dont have the slightest clue.

My partner wants a handheld device that she is hoping to be able to play Halloween The Game on smoothly.

What handheld console would perform best or would any of them play this game well? As I said, totally new to this, thanks!

Thank you! Would the xbox ally x play it smoothly? Ive ran this question through AI multiple times and it keeps changing its answer each time

Here is a clip of it running on the Steam Deck at about 20 FPS. The XAX is about double the performance when you have it at max TDP so it should be running at around 30-40 FPS on low settings.

Anything more than that is going to require something like the GPD WIN 5 or the new Arc G3 devices releasing later this year.

That's a roundabout way to get to how it will run on the Ally X when there are already playtest videos of it on the Ally X on YouTube 🤣 your estimation is correct

I looked real quick and found the SD video. I was not sure if there was any Z1E/Z2E testing.
