Meanwhile, with the optional ROG Gaming Charger Dock, gamers can take their gaming to the big screen while simultaneously charging the Ally. This unique feature allows for couch co-op and competition with friends and family, bringing the thrill of multiplayer gaming to a whole new level.

With this, gamers can indulge in living room couch gaming or elevate their experience with a mouse and keyboard setup. With the XG Mobile, the Ally can handle AAA games at 4K with ray tracing and DLSS 3, or dominate high-framerate esports titles with ease.
Ultimate Full HD Gaming on the Go
The ROG Ally delivers an outstanding FHD gaming experience, surpassing other handheld devices in the market. Its Windows 11 compatibility allows gamers to enjoy various titles from various platforms, including three months of Xbox Game Pass upon purchase. The handheld can also be used for solo gaming or easily connected to a TV for multiplayer sessions. Moreover, gamers seeking a top-tier gaming experience can enhance their gameplay with the ROG XG Mobile suite of external GPUs.

The Ryzen Z1 Extreme variant will be available in August 2023 with 6 cores and 12 processing threads. Both models support AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution and AMD Radeon Super Resolution upscaling technologies, ensuring remarkable performance and stunning visuals in demanding AAA and indie games.
Efficient Thermal Design for Extended Gaming Sessions
To keep the Ally cool during intense gaming sessions, ASUS has equipped it with the ROG Zero Gravity thermal system. This dual-fan system, combined with ultrathin heatsink fins and high-friction heat pipes, guarantees optimal cooling in any orientation. The handheld also features 16 GB of high-speed LPDDR5 6400 MHz memory, 512 GB of PCIe Gen 4 storage, and a UHS-II microSD card slot for expandable storage.
