XREAL and ASUS ROG Push Frame Rates to 240Hz in New Spatial Gaming Glasses
- XREAL and ASUS ROG partnered to launch the ROG XREAL R1, the first AR glasses with a 240Hz micro-OLED display.
- The glasses weigh 91 grams and offer 3DoF tracking, adaptive lenses, and instant compatibility with PCs, consoles, and ROG Ally.
XREAL has partnered with ASUS Republic of Gamers to create the ROG XREAL R1, a pair of spatial gaming glasses revealed at CES 2026. The device combines XREAL’s optical systems and lightweight XR hardware with ROG’s high-performance gaming technology, supported by a custom Control Dock for multi-platform connectivity. According to XREAL, it is the "world's first 240Hz spatial display" and is built to deliver high-speed, on-the-go competitive gaming.
The ROG XREAL R1 enables large-screen gaming in a portable, wearable format, pairing a 240Hz micro-OLED FHD display with a 57-degree field of view. At just 91 grams, the glasses are built for extended use and mobility, supported by XREAL’s X1 chip and compact prism-based optical engine. Users can fix the virtual display in place or reposition it freely within their environment, aided by 3DoF tracking and 3ms motion-to-photon latency for responsive movement. The lenses adjust automatically based on gaze, becoming transparent when looking away and darkening when focused on the screen. Spatial audio, tuned by Bose, adds directional depth for greater situational awareness during gameplay.
The ROG XREAL R1 connects across the ROG ecosystem via a dedicated Control Dock with DisplayPort and dual HDMI inputs, enabling quick switching between PC and console. It also links directly to the ROG Ally through USB-C, with full plug-and-play support and no setup required.
XREAL has confirmed global shipping in the first half of 2026.
