The world-famous technology company ASUS has been on the agenda with a strange issue for a few days. So much so that the company made a post on its official social media accounts on April 1 and announced a new handheld console called “ROG Ally”. The product, which appeared as a competitor to the console, which Steam called Deck, was thought to be an April 1 joke at the first stage.
The reason for this was the promotional video prepared. Because the subject of the video involved someone who forgot his key at home, remembering the ROG Ally in his pocket and starting to have fun. Also, the people in the video were zombies. In summary; The announcement video looked more like a troll video.
However, we were wrong! ASUS ROG Ally appeared as a real console
The latest news about ASUS’ new game console has made it clear that this console is not an April 1 joke. So much so that Dave2D and Linus Tech Tips, known as YouTube channels that shoot videos on technology, served the review videos of this console. When we look at the shared information, we see that ASUS ROG Ally offers a 120 Hz refresh rate with a 7-inch 1080p screen. It is also stated that the console is more performant than the Steam Deck.
When the console, which has been keeping ASUS on the agenda for a few days, will be released and other technical features are not yet known. However, in the posts on Twitter, it is stated that this console has a Windows operating system. This means that you can play all the games in your Steam library on this console. When ASUS makes the global launch for ROG Ally, we will have the opportunity to learn all the features of this console.
