ASUS has announced a new ROG Xbox Ally, the X20, which includes an OLED screen and other major improvements.
ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and brought some hefty flagship devices to Computex 2026. ASUS was excited to announce the new ROG G1000 Edition 20 desktop and the ROG Xbox Ally X20 Bundle. The ROG G1000 Edition 20 is a limited-edition flagship desktop with a bold ultra-tower design, up to RTX 5090 performance, and the world’s first AniMe Holo display in a prebuilt gaming PC. The bundle also included the bundle-exclusive ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR Glasses. The whole bundle combines that beautiful 7.4-inch ROG Nebula HDR OLED display on the handheld and a 171-inch virtual screen experience through the glasses.
During his opening speech at the event, ASUS Chairman Jonney Shih reflected on the milestone: “The Journey of Dare began with a defiant spirit, a refusal to settle for the status quo. Twenty years on, we didn’t just change the game, we transformed the world around it.” The ROG G1000 Edition 20 is the culmination of ROG’s miraculous work, combining ASUS’s highest-end and latest innovative tech within the ultra-tower chassis. This rig features the world’s first prebuilt gaming PC with an AniMe Holo display, a holographic fan system that turns the front of the chassis into a three-dimensional canvas for self-expression. When CGMagazine attended an event with the ROG G1000, we were told you could load up GIFs or whole movies projected on this display.
The original ROG Xbox Ally dropped last year in October 2025, releasing the white Xbox Ally priced at $599.99 and the black Xbox Ally X priced at $999.99. The new Xbox Ally X20 has the same AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor, 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage as the Ally X. This could put the pricing of this handheld device about the same. However, the Xbox Ally X20 now boasts a larger 7.4-inch ROG Nebula HDR OLED display (compared to the 7-inch IPS screens of previous iterations). “While this has been a common request since day one, we wanted to give gamers a display that was truly gaming-focused, and after years of R&D, we’ve got one with all the right specs,” ASUS said in a statement.
The chassis is finished in translucent black with gold accents, all surrounding the stunning 7.4-inch ROG Nebula HDR OLED display. The panel runs at 120Hz with FreeSync Premium Pro, reaches up to 1400 nits peak HDR with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 and Dolby Vision, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus with a Corning DXC anti-reflection coating.
After hearing plenty of feedback from reviewers and consumers, ASUS tweaked the handheld’s feel. The controls get a thoughtful, premium refinement, tuned for how you play. Inspired by the design of the classic Xbox controller, anchor a control set built for serious play: full-size TMR joysticks with a contactless magnetic sensor system that resists drift and is more precise than Hall effect sensors, impulse triggers, improved face buttons that now sit flush with the chassis for smooth thumb-sliding, and an LED-lit Xbox button. A transforming D-pad rotates to switch between a precise 4-way layout and a sweeping 8-way input ideal for fighting games, while reworked bumpers deliver crisper feedback on every press.
As stated above, the Xbox Ally X20 is releasing a bundle. Part of the bundle is the ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 Gaming AR Glasses, the other half of this 20th celebration. As for writing, pricing was not discussed yet—whether that was for individual items or the bundle. CGMagazine’s Executive Editor, Dayna Eileen, reviewed the ROG Xbox Ally X with an 8/10 score, noting: “Something I thought was special about the ROG Xbox Ally X is the way you can find and manage your games from the Xbox app…enough power to get you through a pretty good gaming session before needing to plug in.” Be sure to check in with the official ROG website for all the latest updates on pricing.
