Asus reveals ROG Ally, a handheld gaming PC that’s really real
destructoid.comAsus has announced the ROG Ally, ROG’s first handheld gaming console meant for taking PC games on the go, much like a Steam Deck. But thanks to the day the company made the announcement, Asus has had to reaffirm that yes, it’s for real.
Originally revealed around April 1, the Asus ROG Ally is a handheld console. Its initial pitch video shows the handheld bouncing between different popular PC games, played in a variety of locations. It’s essentially similar to the Steam Deck and various other competitors that have emerged.
The thing was, this hardware was revealed around April 1, a.k.a. April Fool’s Day. A holiday for announcing fake game news. So you can imagine the shock when no one responding to the original reveal believed it was real, doubled up by a confusing social post on LinkedIn, as spotted by The Verge.
Well, now it’s April 3, and Asus is asserting that it’s “not an April Fool’s joke,” and that the ROG Ally is real. There’s even a Best Buy page up for notifications about new information.
It’s real!Stay tuned for more
