Images of the Asus ROG Ally 2, along with a unique Xbox edition, have surfaced in an FCC filing, hinting at a potential release that could be closer than anticipated.
For quite some time, there’s been talk about a potential portable Xbox device, and Microsoft has openly acknowledged this speculation on numerous occasions.
On various social media platforms, Asus shared a tantalizing video hinting at the upcoming launch of a new generation ROG Ally, to which the official Xbox account responded. This online exchange fueled speculation among fans, suggesting that these companies might be collaborating, as previously speculated, for the development of a handheld device.
On May 7, 2025, images of two models of a fresh Asus portable device appeared in the FCC’s listings for its WiFi module, and one of these models sports an Xbox button on its front side.
New Asus ROG handheld could be long-awaited Xbox device
According to the FCC listings, there are now two fresh variants of the handheld device available in both white and black hues. Each model features an additional button on the left side, positioned next to the joystick.
As a fan, I noticed an interesting difference between the two variants. The black one boasts an Xbox logo on its button, while the white model is simply a solid color. Since the images don’t show the screen being turned on, it remains a mystery whether the Xbox variant will come with additional special software or if the button will merely open the gaming app developed by Microsoft.
The FCC documentation doesn’t provide extensive details about the handheld’s specifications, but it does highlight some key features. In the Xbox version, there’s a 7-inch LCD display that refreshes at 120Hz, along with an 8-Core AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme CPU. Conversely, the white model sports a smaller 4-core processor.
The redesign of the ROG Ally 2 features a significant shift from its initial boxy appearance. Instead, it sports ergonomic grips on either side, reminiscent of the PlayStation’s Portal design.
It’s possible that the yet-to-be-announced handheld device from both Xbox and Asus might arrive faster than expected, along with potential software updates for the Xbox version.
The Xbox app from Microsoft is currently undergoing changes designed for easier use on portable devices. These updates include features such as a battery status display, a digital clock, and additional enhancements.
At Computex in Taipei, which kicks off on May 20, 2025, Asus typically unveils new gadgets. This is where they showcased the ROG Ally X last year, and it usually coincides with Microsoft’s Build event, happening from May 19-22.
Following the launch of the Lenovo Legion Go S, Valve has signaled their intention to develop SteamOS drivers for additional devices, such as the ASUS ROG Ally and possibly future models, which may also include a SteamOS variant for Xbox devices.
