ASUS and Microsoft Set to Launch ROG Xbox Ally Handhelds on October 16, 2025
Get ready, portable gaming fans—ASUS and Microsoft are teaming up to bring two new handheld devices to life: the ROG Xbox Ally and the more powerful ROG Xbox Ally X. According to reliable leaks, both are set to hit the market on October 16, 2025, with a formal reveal expected during Gamescom 2025 in late August.
Two Models, Two Experiences
- The ROG Xbox Ally targets gamers who want a sleek, capable handheld without breaking the bank.
- The ROG Xbox Ally X steps things up with higher performance hardware and extras for more demanding players.
While both devices promise a streamlined and rich gaming experience, pricing details remain under wraps—though generous rumors suggest €599 for the base Ally and €899 for the Ally X (with regional pricing likely to vary).
What to Expect at Gamescom
Sources suggest that pre-orders may open around August 20, aligned with Microsoft’s Gamescom showcase. The companies are expected to unveil final pricing and availability in that window.
