Get ready for a gaming revolution! ASUS is about to shake up the AR world with their upcoming collaboration.
The ASUS ROG team has been teasing a "Big Format Gaming Display," but it turns out this isn't your typical giant monitor. In a recent social media post, ASUS hinted at the return of BFGD, suggesting you won't need a bigger desk. And here's where it gets interesting: XREAL, a company known for its AR smart glasses, has responded to this tweet, indicating a partnership with ASUS for their largest "monitor" yet.
Imagine a gaming display that doesn't take up your entire desk space, but instead, is a pair of augmented reality glasses! This would explain ASUS's desk-space joke. However, both companies have kept the details under wraps, leaving us with no specs or product names to speculate on.
BFGD, an NVIDIA label from 2018, was used for oversized gaming displays, typically featuring 65-inch 4K panels with high refresh rates. ASUS was an early adopter of this technology, releasing ROG-branded big-screen gaming displays.
If this collaboration results in an XREAL-style wearable monitor, we can expect a tethered setup, similar to current AR glasses, connecting via USB-C DisplayPort. XREAL's recent One and One Pro models have utilized micro-OLED displays and dedicated processing chips, making them a perfect match for ASUS's gaming-focused vision.
And this is the part most people miss: the potential for a truly immersive gaming experience without sacrificing desk space!
ASUS and XREAL are keeping us in suspense, with no official launch date or pricing announced. The official unveiling will take place at CES 2026, so mark your calendars!
What do you think? Are you excited for this AR gaming revolution? Or do you prefer the traditional monitor setup? Let's discuss in the comments and share our thoughts on this innovative collaboration!
