It was reported two months ago that claimed Microsoft is working with a PC gaming OEM on an Xbox-branded gaming handheld.
It appears the PC gaming OEM Microsoft is working with is Asus as pictures of the Asus ROG Ally 2 with Xbox branding have appeared online.
Images of the black version feature a button with the Xbox logo above the d-pad, which has been blacked out in the white version.
The leaks come from the US FCC discovered by VideoCardz. Along with the images of the devices, partial specs have also been revealed.
The black version features an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme 8-core 36W CPU and 64GB LPDDR5-8533 memory. The white version has an AMD Aeirth Plus 4-core 20W CPU. Both models have a 7-inch screen at 120Hz, as well as two USB Type-C connectors on the top.

I just can’t get over the fact they didn’t wipe that screen….
It's more realistic this way how it looks in peoples homes. :P
"Get it this Holiday, only $949.99"
Can this do anything the standard ROG ally cant?
It hasn't been announced. This is a leak.
But it's likely ust an updated model that MS will push along with Gamepass.
The white version needed to be a 6-core chip as that is arguably the minimum for PC gaming these days.
Sir, it's a portable device.
I think the sweet spot is a device that can play the most demanding 9th gen games with good visuals, while maintaing a stable 30 fps. And starting around $500. But the price will likely be higher.
I'm impressed the Switch 2 is essentially doing that at $450. But those (overpriced) games are going to optimized for Switch 2. It's not just running PC software.
Correct, it is a portable device.
Ryzen Z1 is a 6-core processor.
Ryzen Z1 Extreme is an 8-core processor.
Ryzen Z2 is a 6-core processor.
Ryzen Z2 Extreme is an 8-core processor.
These are processors with 6 or more CPU cores designed for portable devices.
Games on PC really like 6-cores and better these days, it's the sweet spot.
6-core processors are becoming the minimum fairly quickly on PC, take Oblivion Remastered for example, you get a warning message if you have less than a 6-core processor.
The Switch 2 even has an 8-core processor.
There is no place for a quad-core processor in 2025 if you want to future proof your system, when the slowest console (Switch 2) has an 8-core processor. - it's as simple as that.
I hear ya, but it's usually the GPU that is the primary bottleneck.
I have a mini PC called the Beelink SER6 and the Steamdeck.
In comparison, the SER6 has a significantly better CPU. So on Steamdeck, something like Gears 5 is more likely to have dips at 60 fps due to CPU bottleneck.
However, if you throw a 9th gen game at them, like Space Marine 2. The primary issue is GPU, you have to make the game look like shit to potentially hit 30 fps. While there is CPU power to spare. I've noticed that with numerous games tested on Steamdeck.
We will see what this ROG Ally 4 core CPU does in practice. Hopefully it's a significant upgrade versus the Steamdeck CPU in spite of sharing the core number. While I believe GPU power and memory will matter more in the long run.
They need to wipe that shit down. Very stylish though. Wipe it down.
Handheld/mobile is where the winds are blowing.
"KILL...ME..."
Oh yeah it’s a wrap now!
So it's useless. As I said before. Want an Xbox branded PC? Buy a sticker
So you know more than all of us about what the Xbox integration will be looks like? Can you share with us your official source please? I'm very curious.
Or your comment is just about a your made up assumption about what the "Xbox Branding" means? And everything that it implies for the device?
I mean you may be right at the end, but at this point "stating" that it is useless without knowing shit about it is a bit silly.
Come on dude chill, it's just a plastic box
You could argue that about any console lol
What are you talking about lol. I'm pretty chill...
It is about saying things that makes no sense. We simply do not know what this thing can do. Plastic box or not... Saying that something is useless without having any real clue of what it can do is very silly. Some are just constantly posting comments with non sense based on thin air, what's wrong with pointing this out :)
I didn't read any of that because you're an asshole to me everytime and stalk my posts. So I never read anything you have to say anymore. Fuck off
Okay.
As this website shows, Xbox still has a lot of dedicated fans. so maybe having a logo on it to just appease those fans isn't useless.
