XREAL and AION2 launch a ROG XREAL R1 giveaway campaign
XREAL and AION2 are offering a ROG XREAL R1 gaming-glasses giveaway in Japan, with a second prize draw tied to XREAL purchases.
XREAL and AION2 are teaming up on a limited campaign that gives players in Japan a chance to win the ROG XREAL R1 gaming glasses, with the first stage running from 20 to 26 October. 1
The ROG XREAL R1 is a wearable display made by XREAL with ASUS Republic of Gamers branding. The official product page describes a 171-inch virtual screen, a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.01ms response time and support for PCs, consoles and the ROG Ally family. 2
To enter the first giveaway, participants must follow the official XREAL Japan and AION2 Japan accounts on X, then repost the designated campaign post. One winner will receive the ROG XREAL R1, while 20 more winners will receive a two-piece microfibre cleaning-cloth set made for the collaboration. 1
A second stage runs from 21 to 30 October. This one is open to people who buy an XREAL product at participating Yodobashi Camera, Bic Camera, Edion or Joshin shops and online stores, then apply using a receipt photo or order history. Forty winners will receive the same collaboration cleaning-cloth set. 1
The campaign is a neat fit for both brands: AION2 supplies the game-world hook, while the R1 is the more unusual prize. It is also a reminder that wearable displays are being marketed less as novelty screens and more as gaming hardware that can follow players between a handheld, a console and a PC. The official campaign details and entry conditions are available through XREAL’s Japanese website and social accounts. 12
Our opinion
This is a small promotional campaign rather than a major AION2 update, but the prize is specific enough to make the collaboration worth flagging for players who already use XREAL hardware or are curious about gaming glasses. The important detail is the split between the repost giveaway and the purchase-based second stage: readers should check the official posts before entering, particularly because both windows are short. 1
