ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) and XREAL today announced pre-orders for ROG XREAL R1, the microOLED gaming AR glasses that boast up to 240Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n

Unveiled at CES 2026 in January<\/a>, ROG XREAL R1 are AR glasses that focus on playing traditional content, whether it be from tethered USB-C handhelds and mobile devices, or PCs and consoles via its external \u2018ROG Control Dock\u2019, which includes DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.0 ports.<\/p>\n

Now, ROG and Xreal announced they\u2019re almost here, as the companies today released pre-orders in the US via Best Buy<\/a>, priced at $850. Global pre-orders direct from Xreal are expected to go live on May 17th.<\/p>\n

At the time of this writing, Best Buy orders are quoted at arriving on May 29th for both in-store pickup and courier shipping. ROG and Xreal say\u00a0worldwide shipping is slated to begin on June 1st.<\/p>\n

As for the device itself, ROG XREAL R1 serves up dual 1,920 x 1,080 microOLED panels clocked at 240Hz, which are displayed through birdbath optics boasting a 57 degree field-of-view (FOV).<\/p>\n

At a peak brightness of 700 nits and a 3ms motion-to-photon latency, the device is essentially now Xreal\u2019s de facto flagship device, owing to its $850 price tag and its biggest leap in specs: a 240Hz refresh rate, double that of its previously released XREAL One Pro ($600). Notably, the\u00a0ROG Control Dock comes in the box, and seems to be exclusive to ROG XREAL R1.<\/p>\n

Like its little sibling One Pro though, ROG XREAL R1 offers 3DOF tracking, electrochromic tinting, and Sound by Bose audio. With the addition of the optional $100 XREAL EYE add-on<\/a>, users can also unlock 6DOF tracking. Check out the main specs below for both the glasses and included ROG Control Dock:<\/p>\n
