Asus suggests the development of a ROG Ally portable console in collaboration with Xbox

It seems that the rumors were true and Asus is working on a new Rog Ally which will be part of a new collaboration with Microsoft to launch portable consoles under the Xbox platform.

Asus herself has seen on her Twitter (x) some images of her previous Rog Ally, accompanied by an Xbox command with a redesign to adapt it to the characteristic lines of the Republic of Gamers, ROG series, ROG, of the company. In the video you can see how both devices are introduced into a machine and from there a mysterious console would come out.

Xbox’s own account on Twitter has responded with a meme to the ad.

In principle, this It would not be a portable Xbox itself, but it will be a console with Windows (perhaps the ASUS ROG Ally 2) that, possibly, will have access to certain functions of the Xbox platform with optimization for the multiplatform games that are available on PC, but not to the games of the console. Do not forget that Microsoft confirmed that they had portable Xbox prototypes, but that there were still years for something like that to see the market.

The video was published yesterday at 20:00 Spanish time, which corresponds to 5 am in the morning of today, April 1, at PT hours. Recall that in countries like the US, on April 1 it is equivalent to our “Innocent Day”, and perhaps Asus and Microsoft are only spending a joke. However, taking into account previous leaks, everything seems to point to this device would arrive this year.
