"The ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X launch in less than a month, but as with many new tech products this year, there's some uncertainty on the price of the first Xbox-branded handhelds. Official price points have yet to be confirmed by Microsoft or Asus. As such, it's unclear when preorders will be available ahead of the ROG Xbox Ally's October 16 launch. Clarity on these questions could come very soon, though."
"With Xbox hosting a livestream at the Tokyo Game Show this week, we wouldn't be surprised if more details are revealed during the event. The Xbox presentation is scheduled for Thursday, September 25, at 3 AM PT / 6 AM ET. Xbox has also said Tokyo Game Show attendees will be able to try the new handhelds on the show floor."
"The internet has been rife with rumors about the price of the handhelds, which Xbox co-developed with Asus. While Amazon has removed its store pages, Best Buy still has both handhelds on its site. At one point, the ROG Xbox Ally was listed at $550, while the ROG Xbox Ally X was $850. The prices were quickly removed, so it's possible the final price points will differ."
"Comparisons to the Xbox Series X|S are natural due to the branding, but it's worth emphasizing that these devices aren't really Xbox handhelds. The ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X are Windows PCs running custom UI that will remind players of the Xbox. At the end of the day, though, the ROG Xbox Ally is playing Windows versions of games. As such, the prices will inevitably be more aligned with other Windows handhelds like the regular Asus-branded ROG Ally handhelds, Lenovo Legion"
ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X are scheduled to launch October 16, but official US price points and preorder timing remain unconfirmed by Microsoft and Asus. Xbox will host a Tokyo Game Show livestream on Thursday, September 25 at 3 AM PT / 6 AM ET, and show-floor demos will be available to attendees. Retail listings briefly appeared on Amazon and Best Buy, with the ROG Xbox Ally shown at $550 and the Ally X at $850 before being removed. US tariffs and recent Microsoft price increases for Xbox Series X|S could push final handheld prices higher. Both devices run Windows with a custom Xbox-like UI rather than being native Xbox handhelds.
