ASUS ROG Continues 20th Anniversary Celebrations at DreamHack 2026

DreamHack 2026 kicks off tomorrow at Birmingham’s NEC, and ASUS Republic of Gamers has one of the most packed booths of the show. Here’s everything you need to know. Always one of the more exciting events in the gaming calendar, this year ASUS ROG is making sure attendees at DreamHack have plenty to get their hands on. Celebrating 20 years of ROG, the brand has assembled an impressive line-up of products and experiences at their booth. Whether you’re there to try the latest hardware or simply soak up the atmosphere, there’s plenty to look out for. Below is a whistle-stop tour of what you can expect to find at the ROG booth at DreamHack 2026.

ROG XREAL R1 Gaming Glasses

The headline act, is the ROG XREAL R1 Gaming Glasses. DreamHack 2026 marks the first time the public can get hands-on with these AR-powered wearables, which promise immersive gameplay in a portable form factor. Designed specifically with gaming the mind, if you’re at the show, this is the queue worth joining.

ROG Flow Z13 KOJIMA Edition

Designed in partnership with legendary artist Yoji Shinkawa, the visual mind behind Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear and Death Stranding universes, the ROG Flow Z13 KOJIMA Edition is as much a piece of art as it is a gaming tablet. Under the hood, the Flow Z13-KJP is no slouch either, running an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, with Radeon 8060S Graphics, combining 16 Zen 5 CPU cores and 40 RDNA 3.5 GPU compute units on a single chip for high-end gaming and content creation.

ROG Xbox Ally X

Built in partnership with Xbox, the ROG Xbox Ally X combines ROG’s engineering pedigree with the broader Xbox ecosystem, giving you access to the Xbox Game Pass library and Windows 11 in a device that’s been designed from the ground up for the best of console and PC gaming.

Powering the ROG Xbox Ally X is the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor, with 8 cores, 16 threads, Max Boost clock of up to 5GHz and 16 Mb of L3 Cache. Ensuring performance stays smooth and visuals remain crisp.

Vesaro Sim Racing Challenge

Partnering with Vesaro, ROG has set up an AMD Radeon-powered I Pro Formula sim rig on the show floor with an awesome prize on the line. Set the fastest lap of the weekend and you’ll walk away with an ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN, an enthusiast level 34-inch, 360Hz ultrawide display. For the motorsport fans amongst us, this prize is definitely worth the pit stop.

20 Years of ROG

To celebrate two decades of ROG, the booth is also home to a free-to-play gaming zone, running on ASUS AMD Radeon-powered systems paired with ROG’s flagship OLED monitors and peripherals. There’s no barrier to entry, just sit down and play.

Beyond that, ROG has organised 2v2 Wingman tournaments, prize machines, and broader giveaways including OLED displays and full esports setups. It’s the kind of show floor activation that rewards attendees who stick around and engage, so don’t be in a rush to move on.

More to Be Announced

ROG has also teased that additional unannounced products will be on display at the booth, details of which are being kept firmly under wraps for now. Given the strength of what’s already confirmed, whatever they’re holding back should be worth the surprise.

DreamHack 2026 opens its doors at Birmingham NEC from March 27, and all of the above will be available at the ASUS Republic of Gamers booth throughout the event.

If you’re picking up any ASUS AMD hardware around the show, don’t forget that you can claim a free copy of Crimson Desert via the ASUS AMD Game Bundle.
