Xbox gamers will have a new option for taking their library on the go this
fall. During Gamescom 2025, ASUS revealed that the Xbox Ally handheld
consoles will be on store shelves on October 16. We heard a thorough
explanation of the specs and availability for the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox
Ally X this summer, but the arrival date is the only new info to come from
the major gaming event in Cologne.

There's still no price available for these handhelds, but we expect to
receive that critical detail along with pre-order information some time in
the coming weeks. For comparison, the 2024 ROG Ally X costs $800 while the
simpler ROG Ally Gaming Console from 2023 costs $500. So if we were hazarding
guesses, the ROG Xbox Ally might come in at a price tag around $650, while
the spiffier ROG Xbox Ally X could be more in the ballpark of $900.

The Official Xbox Podcast also included a segment about the upcoming
handhelds, with a pair of Xbox execs talking about the devices and their
experiences using them for titles like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Clair Obscur:
Expedition 33 and Balatro. The chatter is unsurprisingly very positive about
the hardware, but it might have enough tidbits to hold you over if you're
super amped about getting your own hands on an Xbox Ally this fall.
