Asus teases handheld gaming console ROG Ally

Last week, Asus’ Republic of Gaming (ROG) division on April 1 teased the handheld gaming console ROG Ally, but many took it as April Fool’s Day joke and didn’t take the tweet seriously.

But, on Tuesday (April 4), the company officially introduced the portable console, which will give a serious challenge to Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch.

Based on the Asus ROG teaser video, only a few specifications are now in the public domain. There is no mention of when ROG Ally will arrive to stores, but the company has confirmed it will be available in select markets including the US via the Best Buy store.
