Flagship version of Asus's handheld console, created in partnership with Microsoft as part of the "Everything Is Xbox" initiative. The ROG Xbox Ally X model has inherited all the strengths of the original version but is designed for more demanding players who want a more robust power reserve and slightly more battery life. Asus ROG Xbox Ally X is positioned as a universal solution for those who want to get the power of a gaming PC in a portable console body—without compromises on image quality and performance. The console is built on the latest AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor, complemented by 24 GB RAM and a larger battery, allowing the device to confidently handle AAA games at 1080p resol more→ution and stable framerate. The screen remains the same as the base version: a 7-inch IPS display with 1080p resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and VRR support ensures clear and smooth images without frame tearing. Ergonomics have also been perfected: updated sticks and bumpers have become more precise and responsive, and the chassis has improved weight distribution, slightly enhancing the convenience of using the console during long sessions. For connectivity, there are USB4, USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2), a 3.5 mm jack, as well as modern Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 modules. All of this runs on a version of Windows 11 optimized for a compact touchscreen. Essentially, it's not a portable Xbox, but an adapted version of Windows 11 with access to Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and other gaming services, but without the ability to run games from Xbox Series X/S. However, the use of a custom Xbox Interface shell is intended to bring the user experience closer to that of a console.

The fresh modification of the portable console from Asus, released in 2025 as part of a collaboration with Microsoft on the "Everything Is Xbox" initiative. It is important to note that despite having Xbox in the name, this is not so much a portable version of Xbox as it is a rebranding of the original ROG Ally portable console. It runs on a customized version of Windows 11 with the Xbox Interface, supports all popular PC game stores (Steam, Epic, GOG, etc.), but it cannot run original Xbox games. This means it's not a direct replacement for Xbox but rather a new competitor for the Steam Deck, MSI Claw, and Lenovo Legion Go. Unlike the original Asus ROG Ally, the modified Asus ROG Xbox Ally more→is equipped with a new, more powerful AMD Ryzen Z2A processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. The processor's performance is just slightly behind the previous flagship Z1 Extreme, allowing the console to run most modern games with demanding graphics at 1080p resolution with a frame rate of over 30 frames per second. A memory card slot will help offload memory if you have a rather large game library. As with its predecessors, most of the central panel is occupied by a high-quality 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1080p, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and VRR support. The controls are also implemented through a pair of joysticks, four bumpers, and four main buttons ABXY. For external connections, there are USB4 and USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) ports, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, as well as a wireless controller with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4. To avoid overwhelming the user with a complicated interface, designers have adapted the Windows 11 interface for a small touchscreen and simplified system management. Additionally, to boost performance, unnecessary system processes, web search, and the Copilot AI platform have been halted and hidden under the hood. | Price from $599.99 Compare prices and buy Asus ROG Xbox Ally 1 store 1 offer Loading online stores list. |
Asus ROG
The release of the Valve Steam Deck portable console set a new trend in the mobile gaming market - powerful portable PCs with a Nintendo Switch-style design that can run Cyberpunk 2077, God Of War, Alan Wake 2, BG3 and other popular games on PC. Looking at the success of Steam Deck, Asus decided not to delay the response and in 2023 introduced the Asus ROG Ally line of portable consoles. The key difference from the Steam Deck is the Full HD display and full-fledged Windows 11 instead of specialized Linux-based shells.
At the launch, Asus presented several variations of ROG Ally with 16 GB of RAM and different amounts of built-in storage (256 and 512 GB), as well as different modifications of the Ryzen Z1 and Z1 Extreme processor. The powerful Ryzen Z1 Extreme is a close relative of the 8-core Ryzen 7 7840U Phoenix with integrated Radeon 780M graphics, which roughly matches the performance level of the mobile GeForce GTX 1650 Ti. According to the manufacturer, the console with the Z1 Extreme chip will be able to play games with a frame rate of 50 to 60 frames per second.
A more affordable modification of the console with a 6-core Ryzen Z1 chip is more focused on console 30 frames per second, and its FPS indicator depends much more on the optimization of a particular game and the selected graphics settings. A must-have for the younger version is the built-in AMD FSR 3 resolution scaling system and the Fluid Motion Frames frame generator, with the help of which the owner of the console can achieve smoother and smoother gameplay. If this doesn't help, you can always lower the resolution to 720p.
Otherwise, all versions of ROG Ally are identical. The screen uses a fairly bright and juicy touch matrix with Full HD resolution, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a maximum brightness of around 500 nits and Gorilla Glass Victus protective glass. A pair of fans and an evaporation chamber are used to cool the iron. To expand the memory, you can use regular microSD cards. As with the Steam Deck, a docking station allows users to connect a monitor, mouse and keyboard to the console, turning it into a mobile PC. Finally, Asus emphasizes that the owner of the console will be able to safely use any stores and services based on Windows 11, be it Steam, Game Pass or Epic Games Store, and a fingerprint scanner is used for authentication.
