Asus’ next ROG Ally will be the ROG Ally X


The company’s promising big battery life gains.

The Asus ROG Ally was the first true Steam Deck challenger; while I’d argue it fell a little short, it legitimately improved the state of affordable Windows handheld gaming with its plugged-in performance boosts and smooth variable refresh rate screen. “We think about battery and storage, graphics and memory, ports... our goal is to fit as many of those as possible into a device like this,” says Asus senior product manager Gabriel Meng. While Meng says, “We are very open-minded to looking at other solutions,” and that the company does have conversations with Valve, Asus says it has philosophical and logistical reasons to stick with Microsoft’s OS, including a desire to have the “inclusiveness of all different game platforms” instead of relying on Steam.
