ASUS ROG Ally Might Get SteamOS Support
When it comes to portable gaming consoles, the ASUS ROG Ally is a prominent device that might undergo a significant change. Launched in 2023 and recently introduced in the Turkish market, the ROG Ally currently operates on Windows 11, but it seems that players are not entirely satisfied. Rumors suggest that SteamOS support might be added for the ASUS ROG Ally. Here are the details…
SteamOS Will No Longer Be Exclusive to Steam Deck
If the leaks are accurate, the ROG Ally, which currently runs on Windows 11 and may not provide the desired performance and smoothness, could soon offer the option to run SteamOS. Previously exclusive to the Steam Deck, SteamOS is known for its fluidity and performance in gaming consoles.
The expected SteamOS support for the ASUS ROG Ally could provide a better experience on a different operating system. Additionally, the latest SteamOS update notes from Valve mention, “Support added for ROG Ally buttons,” which supports these leaks.
ASUS Project Dali with E Ink Spectra 6 display introduced. The next generation display was unveiled at Computex 2024.
We’re still at the early stages, and even if this support is offered, we may have to wait for a while. Considering the company has just started working on this, it might take a few months. According to the rumors, Valve’s forthcoming SteamOS support will allow players to choose between Windows and Steam’s operating system.
