ASUS teams up with AK Studio to turn the ROG Xbox Ally X into a Cyberpunk 2077 handheld that you can't buy

In a new collaboration between ASUS and AK Studio, a Taiwanese modding team, the ROG Xbox Ally X is getting a one-off Cyberpunk 2077 rebrand. ASUS calls it a one-of-a-kind professional mod, not a new retail model, featuring a vibrant colorway and details throughout the chassis that Cyberpunk chooms will instantly recognize.

For starters, this is a case mod for the ROG Xbox Ally X, not an entirely new console. The handheld is wrapped in signature Cyberpunk yellow, with decals throughout, including matching typography and weathered accents inspired by Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand and the game's grimy Night City setting. It's safe to say this isn't just a simple skin.

ASUS says this handheld is one of a kind, which means it won't be a retail product. At best, one of these may be given away as a prize in a competition. There are only three of these bad boys in existence right now, so while not strictly one-of-a-kind, it's still impossibly rare according to the folks over at ASUS.

Under the hood, this is still the standard ROG Xbox Ally X, featuring the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme, 24GB of LPDDR5X memory, a 1TB SSD, an 80Wh battery, and a 7-inch 1080p 120Hz display. The custom collaboration is entirely an external makeover, with the grips, controls, and internals unchanged.

While this won't see a retail release, ASUS may be using it to gauge interest in custom and themed ROG Xbox Ally systems. The company currently offers only black-and-white color options for the Ally line, with no themed variants or limited-edition shells. If demand is there, limited-run themed ROG Ally handhelds could follow.
