Hey! I’m Sean Hollister, and I’ve been The Verge’s unofficial handheld gaming PC reviewer since 2022, when the Steam Deck and kin took over my life. (I also helped launch this website back in the day!) I also just spent the past week reviewing the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, Microsoft’s very first “Xbox” handhelds that are built and co-developed by Asus.
We’re doing a neat new thing where we let paying subscribers ask us anything about the hottest new gadgets, stories, and events — and I wasn’t about to let my colleague Jen have all the fun!
So today, I hosted my own subscriber-only AMA right here in the comments to this story, and I think I answered all your questions! You subscribers are the ones paying to let me keep this awesome job, so it felt only fair. Tom showed up too!
Check out the comments section to see what was asked and answered, and if there’s anything else, you can find me on Bluesky as well.
