The ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X launch in less than a month, but as with many new tech products this year, there's some uncertainty on the price of the first Xbox-branded handhelds. Official price points have yet to be confirmed by Microsoft or Asus. As such, it's unclear when preorders will be available ahead of the ROG Xbox Ally's October 16 launch. Clarity on these questions could come very soon, though.

With Xbox hosting a livestream at the Tokyo Game Show this week, we wouldn't be surprised if more details are revealed during the event. The Xbox presentation is scheduled for Thursday, September 25, at 3 AM PT / 6 AM ET. Xbox has also said Tokyo Game Show attendees will be able to try the new handhelds on the show floor.

The internet has been rife with rumors about the price of the handhelds, which Xbox co-developed with Asus. Listings for both handhelds have appeared on Amazon and Best Buy. While Amazon has removed its store pages, Best Buy still has both handhelds on its site. At one point, the ROG Xbox Ally was listed at $550, while the ROG Xbox Ally X was $850. The prices were quickly removed, so it's possible the final price points will differ. As we've come to expect, the ongoing tariff situation in the US is playing a major role here. Just last week, Microsoft announced price increases for the Xbox Series X|S in the US; the new prices take effect October 3. With this in mind, the $550/$850 price points are likely the best case scenario.

For now, check out the specifications of each model below.

Comparisons to the Xbox Series X|S are natural due to the branding, but it's worth emphasizing that these devices aren't really Xbox handhelds. The ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X are Windows PCs running custom UI that will remind players of the Xbox. At the end of the day, though, the ROG Xbox Ally is playing Windows versions of games. As such, the prices will inevitably be more aligned with other Windows handhelds like the regular Asus-branded ROG Ally handhelds, Lenovo Legion Go, MSI Claw. But that also means you aren't restricted to the Xbox Store; you can launch Steam, GOG Galaxy, the Epic Games Store, and any other PC game client supported by Windows.

ROG Xbox Ally Official Accessories

Asus 2-in-1 Hard Case | Asus 100W Charger Dock

We do know the prices of two official ROG Xbox Ally accessories from Asus: A $70 hardshell carrying case with a built-in stand and accessories pouch, and a 100W Charger Dock. This is an AC adapter with a built-in HDMI 2.0 port and two USB 2.0 ports for accessories. It can be used to connect the ROG Xbox Ally to a monitor or TV.
