The ASUS ROG Ally will launch worldwide this June
ASUS Australia have announced that the ROG Ally, their debut entry into the world of handheld gaming will release worldwide, including Australia on June 13th. While there will be two models eventually, only one model will be out day one and that is the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme.
In Australia the device will be available to get from JB HiFi, with orders open today, but it won’t be available until June 13th.
We recently got hands on time with the handheld, so look for more thoughts soon, but for those looking for a Steam Deck, this might just scratch that itch, plus you can get it here.
Of course, as it is clearly inspired by the Switch, we had to compare the two.
For those who are spec focused, here are the details for the launch model.
