At the 2026 CES exhibition, ASUS ROG and XREAL, a leading brand in AR glasses, jointly launched a new product - the ROG XREAL R1 AR gaming glasses. This new product, hailed as "the world's first 240Hz micro-OLED gaming glasses," is designed for hardcore gamers, bringing high-performance game display into a lightweight and wearable form, completely revolutionizing the traditional gaming screen experience.

Key Features: 240Hz Ultra High Refresh Rate, Smooth Gaming Without Motion Blur

The ROG XREAL R1 uses dual 1080p micro-OLED panels, supports up to 240Hz refresh rate, and has an ultra-low 3ms motion-to-photon latency. This means that in competitive games, players can enjoy extremely smooth visual performance, significantly reducing motion blur and improving response speed. Compared to common 120Hz AR glasses on the market, this product achieves a qualitative leap in gaming performance, especially suitable for game types sensitive to refresh rate such as FPS and fighting games.

Enormous Virtual Screen: Equivalent to 171 Inches at 4 Meters

The glasses provide a 57° wide field of view, projecting an ultra-large screen equivalent to 171 inches at a virtual distance of 4 meters, covering 95% of the focused vision area. It features an X1 spatial co-processor, supporting Anchor (Anchor Mode) and Follow (Follow Mode), allowing players to adjust the size, distance, and position of the screen with one click, switching between fixed large screens or head-movement displays at any time, offering an immersive private cinema-like experience.

Light and Comfortable Design, Only 91g Portable

The ROG XREAL R1 weighs only 91 grams, making it as light as regular glasses. It is equipped with electrochromic lens technology, which automatically or manually adjusts the light transmittance to adapt to different ambient light conditions; when the eyes look away from the screen, the lenses automatically become transparent, ensuring safety and comfort. It also integrates a Bose-tuned audio system, providing accurate spatial audio to enhance the sense of immersion and spatial orientation judgment during gaming.

Strong Compatibility: Switch Between Multiple Devices with One Click

The product comes with a dedicated ROG Control Dock docking station, featuring one DisplayPort 1.4 port and two HDMI 2.0 ports, supporting seamless connection to PCs, gaming consoles (such as PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch), and other sources, switching with one click. Connecting directly via USB-C to the ROG Ally handheld console allows for zero settings plug-and-play, perfectly adapting to handheld gaming scenarios.

Release Information

The ROG XREAL R1 is expected to be released globally in the first half of 2026. The official price has not yet been announced, but based on similar high-end AR glasses pricing, it is expected to target the mid-to-high-end market.

The emergence of the ROG XREAL R1 not only liberates high-refresh-rate gaming displays from fixed screens to wearable devices, but also further expands the application boundaries of AR glasses in the gaming field. For players who pursue extreme performance and portability, this is undoubtedly a black tech product worth paying attention to. In the future, as such devices become more popular, the era of enjoying large-screen games anytime and anywhere may truly arrive.
