HMNXbox and ASUS have pulled the wraps off the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X—a pair of sleek, Windows-powered handhelds that promise to bring your entire Xbox and PC library to your backpack. Think Steam Deck with Xbox DNA and none of the ecosystem headaches. Cloud, console, or native installs—if it plays on Xbox or PC, it plays here.
The Ally is the “just right” model for most gamers, while the Ally X is pure handheld muscle: more RAM, more storage, more battery, and yes, impulse triggers for that full Xbox feel. Both units boot into a new full-screen Xbox mode built for handhelds, with smart UX tweaks and Game Bar upgrades that make navigation snappy, not fiddly.
Launches holiday 2025 in NZ and other global spots. Prices? Not yet. But if you’re tired of choosing between comfort, performance, and platform access on the go, this could be the one device to rule them all.
