Microsoft has officially announced the price of its Xbox-branded ROG Ally handhelds, just weeks before they go global on October 16. The corporation has postponed revealing the price of the gadgets, claiming "macro-economic" reasons for the delay. As predicted (and rumored), the Xbox's future handhelds will not be inexpensive. The ROG Xbox Ally X will cost $1,000 in the United States, while the ROG Xbox Ally, its lower-end counterpart, will cost $600. Both handhelds are currently available for preorder in various areas.
ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X: Price and Availability
On Thursday, the Xbox parent company confirmed the pricing of its forthcoming handhelds at the Tokyo Game Show. The ROG Xbox Ally X is expected to retail for $999.99 (approximately Rs. 88,650), while the ROG Xbox Ally will cost $599.99 (about Rs. 53,200). Regional handheld price will be verified once pre-orders open in each area.
Both handhelds are now available for pre-order in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, and Vietnam, as well as eight new confirmed markets in Egypt, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Slovenia, and South Africa.
Pre-orders will be accepted through Xbox, Microsoft Store, Asus eShop, and select local stores. Despite their high price, handhelds appear to be in strong demand. Microsoft said Friday that all pre-orders for the $1,000 ROG Xbox Ally X have sold out on the Xbox shop worldwide.
The Xbox-branded ROG Ally handhelds will be available in all of the markets listed above beginning October 16. The devices will also be accessible in other areas where ROG Ally handhelds are presently offered, including as India, Brazil, China, Luxembourg, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Switzerland. Microsoft stated that it will provide information about the launch in other areas in the future.
The hype is real! ROG Xbox Ally X preorders are sold out on the Xbox Store worldwide.

ROG Xbox Ally X; Xbox Ally Features
The ROG Xbox Ally X is powered by an AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor and comes with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage space. The Xbox Ally, on the other hand, is powered by the Ryzen Z2 processor and has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
Both handhelds run Windows 11, which boots right into the new Xbox full-screen experience interface, keeping taxing Windows tasks in the background to free up RAM for gaming. The devices offer native PC gaming across various stores, including Steam, the Epic Game Store, and the Xbox app for Windows.
Players may also access their Xbox console game catalog on portable devices via the Xbox Play Anywhere feature and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Both handhelds will come with a three-month Xbox Game Pass membership.
