ASUS ROG Celebrates 20 Years With RTX 5090 PCs, Xbox Handheld, and More

ASUS is perhaps the biggest name in the gaming space, and there’s good reason for it. Their Zephyrus lineup caters beautifully towards serious gamers, while the Ally is for the people who’re on the move. There’s something for everyone. And keeping up with that spirit, at Computex 2026, ASUS ROG celebrated its 20th anniversary with what it calls “Edition 20,” a showcase of everything from RTX 5090-powered gaming PCs to limited-edition handhelds and, surprisingly, even a board game.

New Xbox Ally X20, Desktop & Strix SCAR 18

The main highlight of the event was arguably the ROG Xbox Ally X20 Bundle. The limited-edition handheld features a translucent black design with gold accents and is powered by AMD’s new Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor. ROG has also upgraded the display to a 7.4-inch Nebula HDR OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. There are improvements to the controls, too, including redesigned joysticks and a new D-pad. The bundle also includes the ROG XREAL R1 Edition 20 AR glasses, essentially turning the handheld into a portable gaming setup that feels far more ambitious than a standard gaming console.

If handhelds aren’t your thing, ASUS also introduced the ROG G1000 Edition 20. The desktop can be configured with up to an NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics card and an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor. ASUS says the system can dissipate up to 1000W of heat thanks to its tri-zone cooling setup and massive 420mm liquid cooler. The most unusual feature, however, is the AniMe Holo display. ASUS calls it the world’s first holographic fan system in a prebuilt gaming PC. Whether that’s genuinely useful is debatable, but it definitely makes the G1000 one of the more unique gaming desktops we’ve seen this year.

ROG also refreshed its flagship gaming laptop, the Strix SCAR 18. The new model can be configured with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX processor and an RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. It also features what ASUS claims is the world’s first 18-inch 4K 240Hz Mini LED gaming laptop display. The laptop supports up to 320W of combined system power and retains ROG’s tool-less upgrade design, allowing users to access RAM and SSD slots without needing a screwdriver.

ASUS Even Made a Board Game

One thing nobody expected from a gaming hardware company was a board game. Yet that’s exactly what ASUS announced with ROG Saga: In Search of Lapuntu Edition 20. The game is based on ROG’s cyberpunk-inspired universe and supports up to four players. ASUS says it’s designed as both a collectible and a playable experience, complete with premium accessories and a dedicated gaming tablemat.
