The PC gaming handheld market has grown exponentially in the last few years with entries from Valve, ASUS, Lenovo, Ayaneo and most recently MSI. The competition in this market is growing quite fierce which means that many of the successors of these handhelds are already in the works most specifically the ASUS Rog ALLY 2 which may be coming later this year.
A successor to the ROG Ally is expected to launch in 2024 based on an exclusive report from techlusive.in which involved an interview with ASUS India Vice President Arnold Su. The ROG Ally was mentioned in conversation with ASUS planning to release a successor in 2024
“…we most likely will launch a second generation [handheld gaming console] this year. We will still keep the Windows features, but we will focus more on gaming,” he told Techlusive.
This handheld will stick with Windows and will be even more gaming focused than the first. ASUS’s positioning isn’t hardly surprising, especially when you consider MSI has already planned its second iteration of the Claw handheld despite the first not even yet being released.
This all goes against Valve’s position which in my eyes makes a whole lot more sense. Shortly after the Steam Deck OLED was revealed Valve confirmed that the successor to the Steam Deck was still several years away with the reasoning being that they are waiting for a big enough technological leap so that a new console will have strong gains over its first iteration. At the time I assumed ASUS and others would take a similar approach so to not oversaturate the market with yearly releases sporting minimal gains but I guess I was completely wrong.
