The US price for ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X has been accidentally revealed by Best Buy before its official announcement.
UPDATE: The pricing initially revealed by Best Buy was confirmed
Since being revealed in June, the handheld console has been highly anticipated by fans. Co-developed by ASUS and Microsoft, players can access their Xbox games, including Game Pass, from the device. Unfortunately, the price had yet to be revealed and, with its October 16th release fast approaching, many were nervous. However, the wait is finally over, should the Best Buy leak be true.
ASUS ROG Xbox Ally Will Cost $599.99 in the United States
As found by Destin on Twitter, the official prices for the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X have been revealed by Best Buy. The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally will cost $599.99, and the Ally X will cost $999.99. Of course, until Microsoft makes it official, take the news with a grain of salt. Still, since Best Buy is distributing the console, those prices may be the confirmed ones. You can find out more information on the official Xbox Wire page, including pre-order details, here.
The handheld furthers Microsoft and Xbox’s initiative to let players play virtually anywhere. Press did get their hands on the device during Gamescom and noted how fluid and great the games played on it. The console will come in two types: Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, with the latter being the more powerful. Still, with Xbox consoles already raising prices, playing on the go does sound like a great investment.
