ASUS ROG Ally might be real instead of an April Fools prank

On April 1st, ASUS released a new video of its ASUS ROG Ally, a handheld gaming PC. Though it was April Fools, there may be more to Taiwanese company ASUS’s announcement of its handheld ASUS ROG Ally console than initially appears.

Before we get into the legitimacy of the ASUS ROG Ally, we should note that the Ally is a portable gaming console that was created in the same manner as the Steam Deck, according to the “official” product launch video. It goes without saying that its overall appearance and shape differ from that of the aforementioned Deck.

The Windows 11-powered ASUS ROG Ally, according to Asus, has a specially crafted Ryzen APU from AMD inside, similar to the Aerith SOC inside Valve’s Steam Deck, and Asus claims it is the fastest AMD APU yet.

In addition to the obvious standard configuration of dual analogue sticks, a left-mounted D-pad, four face buttons, and a few smaller buttons around the screen to access menus and settings, the screen will offer “full HD gaming” and is promised to have a quiet dual-fan design.

In addition to the Steam Deck dock, the ASUS ROG Ally also promotes the chance to “experience Ally’s full potential” by connecting the ROG XG Mobile eGPU that the company sells for use with its gaming laptops and streaming your games to a TV.

Unusual for a prank, the caravan includes real games like High On Life, Moving Out, and WRC Generations and includes a link to Best Buy where players can sign up for pre-order information.

The Ayaneo 2 or other Switch-like devices from GPD and OneXPlayer are just a few of the many competitors to Valve’s Steam Deck, which has been the most successful attempt to make PC gaming truly portable. Instead of a custom design, they have relied on an AMD 6800U chipset, and they generally lack the power and efficiency that we expect from portable gaming devices.
