Rumor has it that Asus is working on a new revision to the ROG Ally. Here's what it would take for me to finally give up my Steam Deck for Asus' handheld.
Last year, I wrote about how I went back to my Steam Deck after using the ROG Ally for several months. Asus ’ device is a real competitor , but there are a handful of aspects of the Steam Deck that make it the right handheld for me. That could change with the ROG Ally 2, however.

Privacy Policy It sounds small, and to a degree it is, but the lack of a lock screen on my Steam Deck is one of the main reasons I still use it. I touch the power button, and I’m immediately at my games. I don’t need to sign in and wait on Windows to launch dozens of background tasks before I can get into a game I want to play.
It’s slightly annoying having to properly back out and quit a game when you’re done playing, but not a dealbreaker. The main reason I want a sleep mode is for games where that’s not possible — games with limited checkpoint systems or saving options. There are plenty of situations where I need to put down my Steam Deck for a few minutes to do something else before resuming my game. And with the current ROG Ally, I just have to leave my game running and hope the device doesn’t put itself to sleep.
The problem is that you have no idea about how your games will run. You might be able to find a YouTube video or Reddit thread about how a particular game performs, but if you can’t, you’ll just have to install the game and find out on your own. That could mean clearing out space, waiting for an install to finish, and playing the game for five minutes before realizing it’s too demanding.
With the Steam Deck, you can do virtually everything through the two overlays available. If you know where to look, you never need to pop into the settings. With the ROG Ally, you have access to some options, and you’re free to customize what those options are, but you’ll still need to poke around Armoury Crate to access everything the device is capable of.
