– Asus partnered with CD Projekt Red and AK Mod to launch a Cyberpunk 2077-themed ROG Xbox Ally X, marking a unique professional case mod for the handheld.
– The design uses layered spray paints, weathering, custom water decals, sand and salt for organic wear, and a yellow neon finish inspired by the game.

Earlier this year, Asus released the ROG Flow Z13-KJP, which is a limited edition gaming tablet made in collaboration with Kojima Productions. Now, it has unveiled a Cyberpunk 2077 themed-version of the ROG Xbox Ally X handheld.
Collaboration and Concept
The Cyberpunk 2077-themed ROG Xbox Ally X was made in collaboration with CD Projekt Red, and the PC builder, AK Mod. It isn’t just a color refresh of the handheld, and according to the press release, it is the world’s first professional case mod for the ROG Xbox Ally X (read our review).
Mod Techniques and Finish
The case mod is made with a combination of layered spray paints, specialized weathering techniques, and custom water decals. AK Mod also used sand and salt to produce organic wear, and then completed the design with a yellow neon finish similar to the one used for the theme of the game.
Accessories and Giveaways
In addition to the handheld, AK Mod also built a stand for the handheld that is based on Johnny Silverhand’s cybernetic arm. Asus says three of the stands were made, and one will be given away to a Cyberpunk 2077 fan. It has also revealed that it will be giving away a copy of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on May 21, but didn’t say if the special edition ROG Xbox Ally X will be given away.
