Pre-orders for the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X open next month, and we have more confirmation of what the prices will be.
According to billbil-kun of Dealabs, the new Xbox-branded handhelds will be available for pre-order starting on August 20, 2025. That’s one day after Gamescom Opening Night Live and day one of the official show where Xbox will have a live broadcast.
As far as pricing is concerned, the report reconfirms what many have been told for weeks about the devices. The high-end Xbox Ally X will retail for €899 while the lower-powered Xbox Ally will cost €599.
The actual release date and official United States pricing remains up in the air. However, rumors suggest an October date for the handhelds with pricing matching the Euro listing.
