ROG and Alan Walker remix the Zephyrus G14, gaming tech, and more
From his earliest days as a YouTube content creator, to his meteoric rise as a DJ and music producer, Alan Walker has kept his feet planted in the gaming community. Whether he’s producing massive hits with industry stars like Hans Zimmer, A$AP Rocky, and Sabrina Carpenter or spinning out new videos for YouTubers to enjoy, Walker is committed to bringing gamers into his audience and creating new works they’ll love.
As the gaming audience itself grows to include more creators than ever, ROG is committed to inventing new products that empower them to fulfill their creative vision. When we began looking for partners, Alan Walker stood out as a quintessential creator with incredible insight into what the next generation wants to see from gaming technology.
Not only do his creative vision and skills make Walker a perfect partner for future ROG endeavors, he has a natural interest in hardware that developed alongside his life-long passion for games.
Turning the tables on convention
Alan Walker skyrocketed into public consciousness in 2015 with his song "Faded." With over 2.7 billion YouTube views and over 1 billion Spotify streams, "Faded" was a massive hit, launching Walker’s career as a top-tier music producer. He went on to net over 3.4 billion views across all his videos on YouTube, in addition to becoming the most-subscribed-to artist in Norway with over 12 million followers.
Always forging his own path, Walker kept pursuing his interest in the games industry, producing a number of tracks in collaboration with games studios worldwide. PUBG Corporation called on Walker’s talents to create "On My Way" and "Live Fast" (featuring A$AP Rocky) for PUBG Mobile. Walker also produced the single "Ghost" (featuring Au/Ra) which appeared on the "Death Stranding: Timefall" album for Hideo Kojima’s 2019 video game Death Stranding. Today, he continues to carve out a foothold in the gaming community with his upcoming projects alongside ROG.
A perfect duet
Together, ROG and Alan Walker are exploring more ways to enhance the lives of content creators and gamers everywhere—starting with Walker himself. To kick off our collaboration, ROG sought to produce a laptop tailored just for him. When considering Walker’s needs as a gamer, creator, and musician, one device stood out above the rest: the revolutionary ROG Zephyrus G14.
Far and away the most powerful 14” gaming laptop available today, the Zephyrus G14 fits the latest generation 8-core 16-thread AMD® Ryzen™ 9 CPU and a robust NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 2060 GPU in a lightweight, ultraslim chassis under 20mm thin. On a performance level alone, this laptop was a perfect pick for Walker, who games, makes music, and travels frequently for work as a professional DJ and producer. What truly sets the Zephyrus G14 apart from the competition, however, is its rich set of premium features that elevate the full laptop experience.
When you use a laptop every day for content creation, like editing videos or streaming, top notch visuals and sound quality are a must. It’s not always feasible to set up an external display or wear headphones, especially when you want to stay light on the road. With the Zephyrus G14, you have everything you need in one machine. Its IPS-level display is Pantone® Validated for color accuracy and features Adaptive Sync variable refresh rate technology to make gaming ultra-smooth.
Walker enjoys clean and rich sound from his G14 thanks to a quad speaker design with two tweeters that fire high-frequency sounds directly forward and two woofers that offer deep bass bolstered by the ErgoLift design. Each speaker is powered by Dolby Atmos technology that offers immersive virtual surround sound. Plus, the device’s one-of-a-kind AniMe Matrix™ LED display gives creatives like Walker a new platform to show off animations, text effects, and audio visualizers that make playing music for an audience a uniquely visual experience.
For Alan Walker’s exclusive device, our designers took inspiration from his work and signature style to create a new skin with a sleek, white chassis, unique text elements, and a personalized keyboard. Walker’s G14 also includes a custom lighting effect for the AniMe Matrix LED display that combines scrolling text with animated art elements that evoke his music and aesthetic. This custom AniMe Matrix visualization will be available for all Zephyrus G14 devices later this year.

ROG and Alan Walker are also releasing videos that give audiences a sneak preview of his new music, future projects with ROG, and more behind-the-scenes content for all of his fans. Keep an eye out on ROG and Alan Walker’s social media channels for more information.
