New leak reveals US pricing for Asus' upcoming ROG Xbox Ally handhelds
A new post by reputed tipster billbil-kun claims final U.S. prices for Microsoft’s Xbox‑branded handhelds built with Asus: $549.99 for the ROG Xbox Ally and $899.99 for the ROG Xbox Ally X. While these figures are unconfirmed by Microsoft or Asus, they are somewhat in line with our previous coverage, which reported on leaker eXtas1s with indicative European pricing of €599 and €899 respectively, along with a suggested October launch window and pre‑orders potentially in August, all flagged as provisional.
Microsoft’s on‑stage reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025 was where the company showed two Xbox‑branded handhelds and confirmed a Windows‑based Xbox experience with a dedicated Xbox button. At the time, we only had a broad "Holiday 2025" launch window and no official pricing. We also reported previously that Microsoft has reportedly shelved a bespoke in‑house Xbox handheld in favor of an "Xbox on Windows" strategy, which would bring the Xbox experience to third‑party portable gaming PCs such as the ROG Xbox Ally line.
From the June reveal, the ROG Xbox Ally X was unveiled with an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip, 24GB LPDDR5X‑8000 RAM, 1TB storage, a 7‑inch 1080p/120Hz 500‑nit display, dual USB‑C (USB4 + USB 3.2), and an 80Wh battery. On the other hand, the more affordable ROG Xbox Ally carries a Ryzen Z2A, 16GB LPDDR5X‑6400 RAM, 512GB storage, the same display, dual USB 3.2 Type‑C, and a 60Wh battery. Until Microsoft or Asus issues formal statements, pricing should be considered as leak‑only.
