Feature: Four Things I Love About Playing Forza Horizon 6 On The ROG Xbox Ally X

Horizon on the go.While Ben has been busy playing on his Xbox Series S for the official Pure Xbox review of Forza Horizon 6, I've also been playing the game on a mix of the Xbox Series X and the ROG Xbox Ally X, and it's been a great experience so far!In fact, I've ended up using the Xbox Ally more than I'd expected for Forza Horizon 6, and even though the Xbox Series X is where I'd prefer to play it overall (simply for the best-quality visuals and improved loading times), it's a game that feels really well suited to the Ally X for multiple reasons.Read the full article on purexbox.com
