Announcing the Upcoming Release of the Asus ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X
Get ready, gamers! The much-anticipated Asus ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X PC gaming handhelds are scheduled for release on October 16, 2025. These powerful devices are set to revolutionize portable gaming, offering an immersive experience for PC enthusiasts on the go.
Both the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X will boast AMD's latest handheld processors, with the Xbox Ally featuring the AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor and the Xbox Ally X sporting the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor. These processors promise smooth gameplay and quick load times, ensuring you'll never miss a beat in your favourite games.
The devices will feature 7-inch, 1080p, IPS displays with 120 Hz refresh rates, FreeSync Premium, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for crystal-clear visuals and a durable design. To enhance the gaming experience, both handhelds will come with controller-style grips for improved ergonomics.
When it comes to storage, the Xbox Ally will offer 512GB M.2 2280 SSD storage (upgradeable), while the Xbox Ally X will come with a generous 1TB M.2 2280 SSD storage (also upgradeable). Both devices will also feature Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 for seamless networking.
The systems will only play PC games, not games for Xbox consoles. However, Microsoft is working on a version of Windows 11 with a special Xbox view that will allow for easier control with joysticks and buttons, making PC gaming more accessible than ever.
As for the prices, leaks and retailer listings suggest the Xbox Ally will be around $550-$600, and the Xbox Ally X near $900. However, it's important to note that official prices remain unconfirmed as of late August 2025 due to ongoing economic considerations. The ever-changing tariff situation may affect U.S. price tags for the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X.
The collaboration between Asus and Microsoft was announced in June at Microsoft's Xbox Games showcase. The release of the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X will be global, covering markets in the US, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
At Gamescom, a selection of games will be available to play on the Xbox Ally handhelds, including Gears of War: Reloaded, Final Fantasy VII: Remake Intergrade, Doom: The Dark Ages, Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, Balatro, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Roblox.
