ASUS, in partnership with Xbox, announces the new ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X gaming handhelds.
ASUS ROG has unveiled the new ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handhelds, co-developed with Xbox to deliver top-tier ergonomics and a seamless Xbox-PC gaming experience, launching holiday 2025. The ROG Xbox Ally sports an AMD Ryzen Z2 A Processor delivering incredible power efficiency for next-level gaming performance.
All-day comfort
The ROG Xbox Ally and the ROG Xbox Ally X feature a completely redesigned chassis. Gaming on handheld is a very personal experience, and comfort in the hand is a key pillar of a well-designed device. With years of feedback on the original Ally and Ally X, the ROG Xbox Ally series offers a more comfortable grip than ever, inspired by Xbox. With a redesigned palm rest and texturing patterns to keep gamers locked on target, the ROG Xbox Ally series truly raises the bar for comfort with a handheld gaming device.
The ROG Xbox Ally X also features impulse triggers, improving the haptics in supported games. These triggers allow for more nuance and immersion and are a feature that Xbox gamers have come to expect with their controllers. These devices are the most comfortable and immersive handhelds ever built by ROG.
Seamless software experience
While the ROG Armoury Crate Special Edition software made the original Ally easy to use, ROG and Xbox aimed to make handheld gaming even more seamless on Windows 11. As soon as players power on the device, they enter the full-screen Xbox experience. Powered by Windows 11 underneath, this software has been optimised for the ROG Xbox Ally, reducing system overhead and offering easy joystick and button navigation. Quick access to settings and customizable widgets is available via Game Bar with a single press of the Xbox button. But with the full freedom of Windows 11 running under the hood, games and mods from other sources are still easily accessible. The ROG Xbox Ally series offers the power of Xbox, the craftsmanship of ROG, and the versatility of Windows, all in one cohesive device.
Efficiency and performance
The ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X both deliver impressive handheld gaming power, with the Ally featuring the efficient AMD Ryzen Z2 A Processor for console-grade performance and long battery life, while the Ally X steps up with the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme Processor for enhanced graphics and higher framerates. Both devices benefit from AMD’s latest graphics technologies, including FSR, RSR, and AFMF frame generation for smoother gameplay.
The ROG Xbox Ally X also includes a built-in NPU, making it ready for emerging AI-powered features. Combined with the new Xbox software experience, it’s a future-ready handheld built for next-gen gaming performance.
