Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great for what i wanted it for. Able to play steam and xbox games wish it had bigger storage but was happy about getting a 5tb external ssd cheap then getting the ally x. Graphics are nice like playing on a small tv.

What a powerful little PC, quick setup with a seamless integration with Xbox and other Game Launchers making this my go to gaming platform this season, the thing has played everything I’ve thrown at it with an ease. My biggest gripe would be the storage space 500GB just isn’t enough in today’s gaming world

By far the most ergonomic handheld I've seen. Opted for the base version just to get my hands on it and I'm not disappointed at all! Great way to play on the go.

Great unit fun to obey and easy to set up Very vivid

I love this device! It is a powerhouse and can be used as a standalone station for anything I can think up. I was searching for ways to upgrade my laptop, and then started looking seriously for a gaming laptop. Then I really had to ask myself "what am I trying to do?". I realized I wanted something portable that can run heavier specs. This little guy has done everything I needed and more. I am extremely happy with my decision and purchase.

Don’t play much or many games but call of duty and grand theft auto are my main 2 and the ROG handles them fine. Played for a few hours straight and only seen the battery warning once. I like that i can play the games on my console, play anywhere games and pc!

item is good. you get the most value if you have gamepass ultimate so you can access the games that run on it. albeit, you wont get the best graphics resolution (outer worlds 2 and 1 for example). Halo infinite is solid even at low settings, and even black ops 7 as well. i think this is the best value amongst the two ASUS xbox ROG's. However, in terms of UI and just snappiness, the steam deck is just better (and cheaper). but again, if you have gamepass ultimate, this is worth the value alone. if you have other platforms such as steam, EA, ubisoft and battlenet, it works too on here as this is windows 11. the grip on this handheld is better than steamdeck; it feels very ergonomic.

Excellent buy, purchased one for myself and one for son for Christmas. Perfect for out of town playing or playing multiplayer without taking up multiple televisions. Great graphics, install a micro SD card and take your games with you.

Been using this for a month now, and it has done all I've asked it to do. Games like Doom and Doom Eternal run smooth as butter, as does Oblivion Remastered. I really like that this isn't a closed system, so you can use Steam, GOG, etc. on this, no problem. Another great use is to stream from your Xbox, like with the PS Portal. Works brilliantly. Oh yeah, if you're into this type of thing, it's also a full-fledged PC. If you're on the fence, pull the trigger. You won't be disappointed.

Have had plenty of handhelds but this one is it! Better than steam deck, switch 1&2, and android emulator

I love this device it works super fast while gaming and it's convenient for traveling five star review.

I can play Dark Souls on my lunch break at work! Runs pretty well on older games. Newer games require a few graphical adjustments but overall playable. Besides, 30fps on a small screen doesnt look so bad. Overall happy with the controller potion on the device. Its definitely built with big hands in mind. I think its too pricey for what you get, though. A Steam Deck is more worth it than this device. Similar performance, less windows bloat, for less. I only bought this for the Xbox Controller form factor. Otherwise, Steam Deck it is. Out of the box storage is also far too low.

I've bought Asus products almost exclusively for my personal computing and gaming needs. My partner needed something a bit lighter weight than a laptop but capable of playing games with me. So far the Xbox Ally, even the lower aspect version, has played every game we've wanted from Terraria to Enshrouded. The only real issues we've ran into have been with software not designed for this form factor rather than issues with the Ally itself.

Received this a few days ago and it is a game-changer, especially as a newer parent. I am not tied down to a desk or a tv to play games. The battery is pretty remarkable and lasts around 2 hours when the performance settings are set to “Turbo” to provide 20W of power delivery. Full screen gaming experience makes this feel like a console, while having the capability to play not only Xbox games, but also Steam and Battle.net. Armory Crates makes access to these platforms simple.

Runs most games but not all but it can run mostly everything at low settings

I got this fully expecting to need to return it because of subpar, or just flat out bad performance. To my surprise this handheld is actually decently powerful, you can fiddle with the power/graphic settings to play modern games at 30 fps, or in the case of older titles, say pre 2020, you can play many of them at max graphical settings locked at 60 fps. It's an all around decent experience even if the price tag is a tad on the high side.

I purchased for excellent price. Loads of fun and very well made. Has great graphics and can be hooked up to your TV. And also can use Xbox controller highly recommend. Thanks

Product is great like an xbox in my hand build quality is excellent multi tasking is great as well. The staff at the woodmoore town center was great made my purchase easy and fast.

I'm new to PC handhelds so I have no reference to what's better or worst. I'm enjoying it for what it is, playing games on the go or in bed. It's really comfortable to hold and pretty much playall my smaller games navtively on it. Games like cyberpunk or call of duty I would just cloud stream them. Cloud streaming is getting really good, I can't the difference most of the time. I think the price is not great and I get it's a mini PC but most are buying this just for gaming. I think 400 to 450 should be the max price.

I’ve been playing with it for a few days now and I’m extremely happy with the purchase. The one issue to a degree is that since it runs Windows, you are going to experience typical annoying things. I ran updates through the Xbox app, then through windows itself, MyAsus and Armoury Crate. Of course the MCU update in Armoury Crate didn’t want to install. Annoying but the unit works great otherwise. Maybe the next MCU update will decide to install.
