Feels right in your hands

Both handgrips are perfectly contoured to match the natural curves of your hands, while the distribution of components inside gives a perfectly balanced feel — reducing the perceived weight of the device, so you can play for longer.

The ROG Xbox Ally X’s controls are all designed to stand the test of time. The thumbsticks are rated for 5 million rotations, the D-Pad and shoulder buttons are ready for 1 million presses, while the ABXY buttons can withstand 10 million presses — so you can button mash for years without worry. *

FAQ

Game Access & Accounts

Yes. Most Xbox Play Anywhere titles should seamlessly support cloud saves and syncing of your games and the progress in your games.

Connectivity & Accessories

Yes! The ROG Xbox Ally supports external monitors via its USB-C port with DisplayPort output. You can also connect a keyboard, mouse, or other accessories using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. If you plan on doing so, we recommend using the ROG Bulwark Dock (2025) DG300 or another 130W-capable dock.

Yes. While the ROG Xbox Ally has a built-in controller of its own, you can also pair it to an Xbox controller, the ROG Raikiri series of controllers, or any PC compatible gamepad when you want to play on a TV or with friends. 

Hardware & Upgradability

You can very easily upgrade the storage if you want more capacity for your library, since the M.2 drive uses a standard 2280 form factor.
The M.2 SSD operates at PCIe Gen4 speeds, ensuring that you’ll leave loading times in the dust. The Xbox full screen experience will always be buttery smooth, and games will install incredibly quickly (depending on your internet connection).

Customization & Software

With ACSE we offer deep customization options, from thermal profiles to RGB lighting and key mapping. ACSE also supports all AMD Radeon software features like RSR, RIS, and AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF).

Differences Between Models

The ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X both feature different chips from the original ROG Ally. The ROG Xbox Ally features AMD’s Ryzen™ Z2A, with the ROG Xbox Ally X features the top-performing AMD Ryzen™ Z2 Extreme. With support for the latest Radeon™ graphics software, including AMD Fluid Motion Frames, these processors offer excellent performance with greater power efficiency and battery life than the previous generation. The software has also been upgraded from the original Ally. Not quite a console, but not quite a PC, the Xbox full screen experience offers a dedicated gaming experience inspired and optimized specifically for handheld gaming.
