It’s official: handheld gaming just got its final boss. ASUS and Xbox just announced the ROG Ally X , and this thing is looking like the most powerful Windows-based handheld we’ve seen yet — dropping just in time for the 2025 holiday season.
What sets the Ally X apart? For starters, it’s got Xbox’s full backing, meaning you’ll get Game Pass, Windows, Steam, and all your favorite titles in one sleek little beast. It’s not just a portable Xbox — it’s an everything machine. Expect upgraded internals, longer battery life, better cooling, and a form factor that actually feels good in your hands for more than five minutes (looking at you, Steam Deck).
The original ROG Ally already turned heads, but this new X version is looking like a serious glow-up. While we’re still waiting on the full spec sheet, all signs point to this being the device that finally nails the portable console + PC hybrid we’ve all been waiting for.
Whether you're grinding Call of Duty on your lunch break or diving into Starfield on a flight, the ROG Ally X looks like it’s about to make handheld gaming feel next-gen. Again.
