ROG Xbox Ally Xbox's First Handheld
After quite a while Xbox being a “mediocre player” in the “big league” of the global gaming industry, in recent years they have begun to demonstrate strategies that appear brilliant.
By standing on the “shoulders of giants” (Microsoft), they are more free to move. This started with rumors about the acquisition of many large gaming developers.
This move paved the way for a business model with minimal competition. As a result, many believe that the future of Xbox is not in the midst of the console wars.
Later, they will only focus on branding efforts alone – instead of having to be busy developing products. One example is their collaboration with Asus.
In order to simply compete with Nintendo with its Switch, they prefer to collaborate with other big players. This is where the Ally line-up comes into the picture.
Like other handheld gaming computers from other brands, Ally has fairly capable specs. No wonder Xbox dares to embrace this Taiwanese company.
There are two variants available: the standard one titled ROG The Xbox Ally, as well as the “Pro” version that gets the “X” moniker, both have slightly different specs.

Price and Release Schedule
Not to be missed, VCGamers will also include the release schedule and price tags for both devices. Reporting from the page official Xbox, this device will be released in the 2025 holiday season.
This refers to the Christmas and New Year holidays, which generally take place in the fourth quarter. As for the official price, there has been no further official announcement.
But if you consider Ally's line-up before collaborating with Xbox, the price for both variants is USD 650-900 or around IDR 10.5 – 14.6 million (June 2025 exchange rate).
From here at least there is an idea of the price range. So just prepare the money if you are interested in buying this console when it comes to release at the end of this year!
