Full HD AAA gaming in the palm of your hand
In comparison to other handhelds on the market, the ROG Ally is a true next-generation device that offers Full HD (FHD) gaming on the move and can run even contemporary AAA games quickly and smoothly. With three months of Xbox Game Pass already installed out of the box and running Windows 11, it can play any game from any platform. Gamers can play alone, with buddies by connecting to a TV, or go all out with the ROG XG Mobile collection of external GPUs for a truly elite gaming experience. An AMD Ryzen Z1 Series processor, brand-new to the Ally, provides the device’s power. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU, which is based on the “Zen 4” architecture and uses AMD RDNA 3 architecture-based graphics, is comparable in power to game consoles and has 8 cores, 16 threads, and up to 8.6 teraflops of graphics processing capability. With 6 cores and 12 processor threads, the AMD Ryzen Z1 edition will be available in August 2023. Both models support the upscaling technologies AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution and AMD Radeon Super Resolution for outstanding performance and breathtaking visuals in demanding AAA and independent titles.
Making this possible is the ROG Zero Gravity thermal system, which uses a dual-fan system with ultrathin heatsink fins and high-friction heat pipes to ensure the Ally stays cool in any orientation. The Ally also comes equipped with 16 GB of high speed LPDDR5 6400 MHz memory, 512 GB of PCIe® Gen 4 storage, and a UHS-II microSD card slot to further expand its storage capacity. WiFi 6E support ensures that the Ally stays on a rock-solid connection, even in congested networks, whether gamers are natively playing a multiplayer match or streaming a game via Xbox Cloud Gaming or AMD Link.
The Ally meets the standard set by flagship gaming performance in terms of display. Gamers will experience exceptional motion clarity in fast-paced games with no tearing or stuttering thanks to the 120 Hz FHD (1080p) touchscreen with AMD FreeSync™ Premium technology. With a maximum brightness of 500 nits, the display also makes it possible for players to readily follow the action in harder settings, including the outside. When players need to install their next game or modify settings, this touchscreen display functions well to enable Windows 11 navigation.
Play All Your Games
In order to #playALLYourgames from any platform, the ROG Ally was built from the ground up with Windows at its core. To give users of the Ally the best possible gaming experience, ROG has worked with Microsoft 151, game publishers, and individual studios. No matter where consumers download their games, the Ally has them covered with complete support for Steam, the EA App, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, the Epic Games Store, GOG Galaxy 2.0, Android apps, and other game platforms.
A free three-month Xbox Game Pass subscription is also included with The Ally, providing users immediate access to Microsoft’s game library the moment they open the package. Xbox Game Pass subscribers gain access to hundreds of games, including well-known titles like Age of Empire IV, Grounded, and Minecraft Legends.
Additionally, ROG is pleased to collaborate with Xbox Game Studios, Capcom, HoYoverse, Level Infinite, 505 Games, Team 17, Nacon, Techland, Squanch Games, and Fatshark to bring the finest gaming experience to the Ally.
