Handheld gaming is no longer just a throwback. With Microsoft joining the game, things are getting serious. Enter the ROG Xbox Ally — a portable powerhouse built with ASUS, blending the best of Xbox and PC gaming into one slick device.
What is the ROG Xbox Ally?
This isn’t your average handheld. The ROG Xbox Ally brings together console-quality performance, the flexibility of Windows, and seamless access to the Xbox ecosystem. Whether you’re playing Game Pass titles or booting up Steam games, it handles it all.
Co-developed with ASUS Republic of Gamers, this handheld builds on the legacy of the original ROG Ally but with deep Xbox integration. Think of it as an Xbox in your pocket — but smarter and more powerful.
Design & Display: Built for Immersive Play
The 7-inch screen delivers crisp visuals at 120Hz, supported by FreeSync Premium and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. The ergonomics mirror the Xbox controller—making long play sessions easier and more enjoyable.
Performance Meets Portability
From Gears of War: Reloaded to Expedition 33, the ROG Xbox Ally runs demanding titles with ease. Thanks to Windows OS, you can switch between Xbox Game Pass, Steam, Battle.net, and even use apps like Chrome or Discord.
A Seamless Xbox Experience—Anywhere
The Xbox Game Bar and Xbox App work smoothly on this device, giving you quick access to your library, social features, and game recording. You can also fine-tune controls and performance via ASUS Armoury Crate.
And thanks to Xbox Play Anywhere, your games follow you — play once, and switch between console, PC, and handheld without repurchasing.
Battery Life & Charging
The base model is great for shorter sessions or cloud play, while the Ally X packs a bigger battery and better thermals for extended gaming. Both support fast charging so you’re never out of action for long.
