Recent patch notes sounded like they might be hinting at upcoming ROG Ally support, but it’s now confirmed.

It would make the Ally usable. Windows holds it back a ton because it’s a trash OS.

There’s still some hardware issues to contend with. Like the fact that it fries SD cards due to poor card slot placement… and the control stick bug…

Let’s just say my wife has one and we recently got her a Steam Deck instead. I had to replace one of the sticks on the Ally and still had problems. She also can’t use the SD card slot at all. It’s flawed hardware with potential (after a couple revisions).

It’s had a revision which appears to have fixed that, and brought other improvements.

However it also came with a price bump, and Asus has been under fire recently for awful handling of warranties all across their business

Potential that will never go anywhere. It’s ASUS, they’re on the 8th iteration of phone and still having problems, the Ally X is having problems too.

ASUS is just a problem company.
