Microsoft’s ROG Xbox Ally handheld devices are reportedly launching on October 16, 2025, according to a recent report by Dealabs. The devices, designed as partner handhelds, will be available for pre-order on August 20, coinciding with Xbox’s presence at Gamescom 2025.
The leaked prices suggest the ROG Xbox Ally X will launch at €899, while the lower-end ROG Xbox Ally will cost €599. Although these prices are in Euros, they match up with prior leaks and may be converted differently for regions like the US due to ongoing tariffs.
The Xbox Ally devices have been designed with Microsoft’s custom work to elevate the existing ROG Ally PC gaming handhelds. The Xbox Ally X features a more powerful processor, 24GB of RAM, and 1TB NVME SSD storage compared to the standard model.
Gamescom 2025 is just around the corner, providing an opportunity for gamers to experience the devices firsthand. With their focus on Xbox Play Anywhere, the ROG Xbox Ally line aims to offer PC gaming enthusiasts a new way to enjoy games across both platforms.
The report also mentions that the game Gears of War: Reloaded was played on the Xbox Ally X during Summer Game Fest 2025, with the device’s triggers receiving positive feedback. If the hardware can handle demanding games at high framerates, it could become an attractive option for hardcore gamers.
