Gaming Freedom Just Got a Boost With ROG’s New Handhelds

ROG’s Xbox Ally and Ally X blend performance and freedom

ROG’s Xbox Ally and Ally X blend performance and freedom for on-the-go players.

As of today, the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handheld gaming systems are available. The Xbox Ally has an AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor, while the Ally X has the new AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor that Asus assures means a 20-30 percent performance increase (respectively). This should mean smooth gameplay on even the most demanding titles. ASUS also states the Ally X should have "110 [percent] more battery life versus the previous generation."

Both gaming handhelds are available today. The ROG Xbox Ally is $599, and the Ally X is $999. Both also include a three-month trial subscription to Xbox Game Pass Premium, which includes immediate access to over 200 games. The ROG Xbox Ally X will only be available on the ASUS Shop, at Best Buy, and on the Microsoft Website, while the Xbox Ally will be available at those retailers, on Amazon, Sam's Club, Walmart, and Ant Online.
