ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X handheld consoles will arrive in October, with a specific release date now shared by a well-known data miner. This matters because these devices aim to bring PC gaming experiences to a portable form factor, and gamers have been waiting to know exactly when they can get their hands on them.
Billbill-kun from Dealabs revealed that both the ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X will launch on October 16. Pre-orders are will open on August 20 during Gamescom. Pricing appears to match previous rumors, with the Xbox Ally expected to cost around €599 and the more powerful Xbox Ally X at €899.
While we wait for more details, this release date gives potential buyers a clear timeline. Wondering if these prices will sit well with the community? Yikes, they are on the higher end for handheld devices, but then again, these consoles pack PC-level hardware inside.
Pre-orders starting during Gamescom means a busy few weeks ahead for fans who want to secure one early. It’s kinda interesting to see handheld PC gaming becoming more accessible, but also a bit nerve-wracking to decide if it’s worth the investment.
More updates will come as the launch date approaches. For now, mark October 16 as the day to watch for the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X.
