- ASUS is making its first handheld gaming console.
- The handheld is said to run on a custom AMD chip.
- Price and availability haven’t been revealed, but a listing is up on Best Buy.
On the last day of March, ASUS teased a handheld gaming system on social media. Given the announcement’s timing, it was thought to be an early April Fool’s joke. But it turns out the console is indeed the real deal.
Today, ASUS posted on Twitter to confirm that its competitor to Valve’s Steam Deck was no April Fool’s joke. Not only is the company making its own handheld gaming PC, but preorders are also expected to go live soon. If you go on to Best Buy, you’ll even find a listing for the device.
