COLOGNE, Germany, August 20, 2025 — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced that ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X — featuring cutting-edge AMD Ryzen^™ Z2 Series processors — will be available on shelves on October 16, 2025. Both new gaming handhelds will be available to try out for the first time on the show floor of gamescom 2025. ROG will have a massive presence at gamescom 2025, boasting a full lineup of 2025 laptops to give gamers a taste of what next-gen hardware is capable of. Additionally, the stars of the latest ROG Travel campaign film, actors Ned Luke and Shawn Fonteno of Grand Theft Auto V fame, will be at the ROG booth to meet and greet fans.

Ready for launch

On October 16, ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X will be available in Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, China (Xbox Ally X only), Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States and Vietnam.

Availability will follow for other markets where ROG Ally series products are sold today, including Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Thailand. The Xbox Ally will launch in China early next year. Additional pricing and pre-order details will follow in the coming weeks.

ROG and Xbox co-developed the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X to give gamers the freedom to play their way, anytime and anywhere.

The ROG Xbox Ally is powered by an AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor featuring four Zen 2 cores with eight threads and eight AMD RDNA^™ 2 GPU cores. This offers ultra-efficient performance, paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X‑6400 RAM and a 512GB M.2 SSD, and all backed by a 60Wh battery for extended play.

The premium, high-performance ROG Xbox Ally X ups the ante with an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, a new eight‑core/16‑thread Zen 5 APU with 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU cores, and an integrated NPU. The ROG Xbox Ally X also features 24GB of LPDDR5X‑8000 memory, a 1TB M.2 SSD, and boasts a larger 80Wh battery for longer playtime. Click here to learn more. 

Optimized for handheld

The team at Xbox has been hard at work behind the scenes partnering with game studios to test and optimize thousands of PC titles for handheld compatibility. This new Handheld Compatibility Program ensures day-one users have the best experience possible on their ROG Xbox Ally handhelds. At launch, compatible games in the game library will sport Handheld Optimized or Mostly Compatible badges.

Handheld Optimized means that the game is ready to go — with default controller inputs, an intuitive text input method, accurate iconography, clear text legibility, and appropriate resolution in full-screen mode. Mostly Compatible means that the game may require minor in-game setting changes for an optimal experience on handheld.

ROG Xbox Ally X

The Xbox team is also bringing advanced shader delivery to the ROG Xbox Ally. This allows the Xbox app to preload a game’s shaders during download, so supported games will launch up to 10x faster, run more smoothly, and use less battery on first play. Xbox is working on adding this feature to even more games over time.

The ROG Xbox Ally X also features AMD’s cutting-edge Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor with a built-in NPU, that unlocks upcoming AI powered features starting early next year — with more to come. These features include:

• Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR): a system-level feature that uses the power of the NPU to upscale games running at lower resolutions. This delivers high-resolution visuals and smooth framerates across a wide range of games, with no additional changes required from game developers.
• Highlight reels: AI captures standout gameplay moments — like epic boss battles or victories — and generates short replay clips to share with friends or on social channels.

See ROG Xbox Ally in person

Both handhelds, along with the entire 2025 ROG lineup that includes the latest Strix, Zephyrus, and Flow laptops, will be on show at the gamescom 2025 ROG booth. The ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X will be fully playable with a selection of games including Balatro, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Gears of War: Reloaded, Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and Roblox — featuring experiences including 99 Nights in the Forest, Grow a Garden, and Rivals.

Meet-and-greet at the ROG booth

To celebrate the upcoming launch of the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X, ROG is reuniting Ned Luke and Shawn Fonteno, one of gaming’s most iconic duos, for the latest installment of ROG Travel. Ned Luke reprises his role of the supervisor at ROG Travel, while Shawn Fonteno joins the cast as a new hire with strong suggestions for the ROG Xbox Ally as a ticket to send their customer on a perfect gaming getaway to Allywood, a place of dreams and infinite possibilities.
