If you’ve been waiting for handheld gaming to catch up to your couch setup, finally, the wait is over. ASUS just teamed up with Xbox to develop two powerhouse handhelds—the ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X—that might just redefine on-the-go gaming. Built from the ground up with feedback from hardcore gamers, these next-gen devices pair Xbox’s seamless interface with ASUS’s renowned ROG hardware muscle—translation: console-caliber performance in a portable frame that feels great in your hands.

The Xbox Ally X headlines the release with AMD’s Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip—meaning more power, better framerates, and a future-ready NPU for AI-driven features down the line. Meanwhile, the standard Ally isn’t slouching either. With the efficient Ryzen Z2 A processor and a 60Wh battery, it’s designed to maximize the performance of every charge. Both units run on a Windows 11-based OS that boots straight into a full-screen Xbox experience, and yes, you can still mod, stream, and sideload to your heart’s content.

ASUS completely redesigned the chassis for all-day comfort, and the impulse triggers on the Ally X dial up the immersion. Whether you’re slaying AAA titles or grinding through indie gems, the ROG Xbox Ally series is ready to roll when you are. Launching Holiday 2025 in the U.S. and beyond, the only question left is which one you’ll preorder first.
