ROG Xbox Ally explained: Xbox handheld release date, price and more ...Middle East

Not content with letting Valve and Nintendo have all the fun, Xbox has confirmed that their new handheld – the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X – are releasing later this year.

Since the Steam Deck brought PC gaming on to go, the gaming handheld market has been all the rage, and Xbox's offering is shaping up to be one of the best in the business.

So, if the idea of a Game Pass subscription you can take anywhere sounds good to you, here's what you need to know about the ROG Xbox Ally release date, price and more!

ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X explained

In June's Xbox Games Showcase, Xbox finally announced the existence of its handheld console, or rather, it announced two of them.

Made in conjunction with Asus, the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X represent the two variations of the console – it's best to think of them as you would the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles.

The base ROG Xbox Ally comes with an AMD Ryzen Z2 A CPU, 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage, while the more powerful ROG Xbox Ally X comes with an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme CPU, 24GB RAM and 1TB of storage.

These are Xbox versions of the already existing Asus ROG Ally line of handheld consoles, with both Xbox versions marking slight upgrades on their predecessors in terms of specs.

The ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X are currently scheduled to release on 16th October 2025.

It had been suggested that the consoles will launch in the holiday season, which typically means around November or December, but it appears Microsoft had other plans.

As for where it will be available, players will be able to purchase the consoles directly from both Xbox and Asus, as well as some select retailers such as Currys, which currently has exclusive rights to sell the Asus ROG Ally X in the UK.

ROG Xbox Ally price – how much will it cost?

While the prices of both consoles haven't been confirmed yet, we can estimate how much they will both cost thanks to the existing ROG Ally handhelds.

The Asus ROG Ally costs £599 / $649.99, while the Asus ROG Ally X costs £799.99 / $799.99.

Therefore, we would expect that the ROG Xbox Ally would cost at least £600/$650 and the ROG Xbox Ally X to cost at least £800/$800.

That being said, both consoles represent slight improvements on their original counterparts, meaning unless Asus is willing to cut the price of its existing handhelds, the new ROG Xbox Ally consoles may retail at a higher price.
