Handheld Xbox console images leak just weeks before Switch 2 launch
Leaked photos from a potential FCC product listing seem to confirm the existence of an Xbox-branded handheld gaming PC, made in partnership with Asus. The device, which was discovered in an Indonesian listing by 91mobiles (before Videocardz found the FCC listing, with photos via The Verge), looks to be a new iteration on the existing Asus ROG Ally handheld gaming PC — but with a new button with the Xbox logo.
The Xbox logo is faint, but it's there.
To be extra clear, this seems to be a listing for the ROG Ally 2, and the Xbox machine seems to be a variant of that rather than a new, distinct piece of hardware by itself. Specs reportedly listed in the FCC filing include a 7-inch 120Hz display and an 8-core AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme CPU, which dwarfs the 4-core CPU in the non-Xbox-branded white version of the ROG Ally 2. While these details are promising, we haven't been able to locate an FCC listing that matches these details.
Xbox has been rumored to be working on a handheld gaming console for a while now, but it wasn't until a recent report from The Verge that we knew it would be made by Asus.

As The Verge pointed out, this device is likely not far off from being announced if FCC certification is already underway. The biggest questions at this point relate to how exactly it works. Is there any kind of special Xbox-themed OS built into the black ROG Ally 2, or is it just Windows? Does the Xbox button just open the Xbox Windows app during gameplay? Are there any differences in game compatibility between the black and white ROG Ally 2 models?
We don't know the answers to any of those questions yet. However, the device at least seems to exist. It probably won't be long now before we hear everything we need to hear about it.

Tesla fans line up to get into the long-awaited Tesla Diner in Hollywood
A long line of people gathered near Elon Musk's futuristic Tesla Diner in Hollywood on Monday after he suggested it was about to open to the public. The diner, which Musk has been planning since 2018, is set to have lots of superchargers for electric vehicles and two drive-in movie screens. The saucer-shaped structure blends a retro American diner aesthetic with high-tech elements and Tesla-branded food containers. Despite claims circulating on Musk's social media site X that the diner would open on Monday, eager customers were not being let in as of Monday afternoon. Other social media posts said the restaurant would open at 4:20 p.m. Monday. The diner, at 7001 Santa Monica Blvd., held a soft opening over the weekend for first responders and members of the Southern California Tesla Club. Videos and photos posted by people who attended showed servers on roller skates and the humanoid robot dubbed Optimus scooping popcorn. "If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world," Musk wrote on X early Monday. A security guard stationed outside the diner Monday said he had received no instructions to open the doors to the public. The restaurant is surrounded by a closed fence. However, many of the people waiting in line were convinced that Monday was opening day. Miguel and Dawn Colayco took a train and multiple buses to reach the diner from their home in Arcadia on Monday morning. The couple said that they saw multiple sources online confirming the diner's opening date. "We're huge Elon fans," Dawn said while waiting in line. "We agree with a lot of things he does and says." Miguel said they would wait in line for an hour before giving up. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC. Portions copyrighted by the respective providers.
