ROG Xbox Ally Preorder Guide: Release Date, Specs, And More

Here is a 176-word summary of the news article: The ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, the first Xbox-branded handhelds, are set to launch in October. However, their official prices have not yet been confirmed by Microsoft or Asus. Rumors suggest the ROG Xbox Ally could cost $550, while the ROG Xbox Ally X could be $850, but these prices may change. The handhelds are Windows PCs with a custom Xbox-like UI, allowing them to run games from various PC stores, not just the Xbox Store. As such, their pricing is expected to be more aligned with other Windows handheld devices rather than traditional Xbox consoles. Asus has revealed two official accessories for the ROG Xbox Ally: a $70 hardshell carrying case and a $100 100W Charger Dock that can be used to connect the device to a monitor or TV. Microsoft is set to provide more details on the handhelds during a Tokyo Game Show livestream on September 25. Attendees will also be able to try the new devices at the event.
