ASUS ROG Ally Handheld Family
Choose Your Weapon. Powered by Windows 11 & Xbox Game Pass.
Unlock the full scale of your digital gaming ecosystem on the go with the ASUS ROG Ally Series. Whether you select the lean, hyper-portable original ROG Ally or the massively upgraded ROG Ally X, you are stepping into a premium handheld experience built on native Windows 11 integration. Both units are driven by the spectacular AMD Ryzen™ Z1 Extreme processor and a tear-free 120Hz Variable Refresh Rate display, delivering desktop-level frame rates right to your palms. With a native controller setup mirroring standard Xbox hardware, accessing your Xbox Game Pass library, Steam accounts, and Cloud Gaming saves is smooth, cohesive, and instantly familiar.
Next-Gen Iteration What Makes the ROG Ally X Special?
The black-chassis ROG Ally X re-engineers user feedback into physical performance hardware, creating the ultimate machine for heavy-duty gaming endurance:
Exactly double the capacity of the original model. Play high-end AAA games unplugged for twice as long without constantly checking for a wall outlet.
Upgraded from 16GB. More allocation overhead allows the system to share system memory dynamically with the graphics chip without system bottlenecks.
Double the base storage capacity out of the box, utilizing a standard full-sized M.2 slot making future storage expansions far cheaper and more accessible.
Replaces the proprietary XG Mobile port with a dual USB-C design, including one fully certified USB4 port compatible with third-party graphics docks and accessories.
