The price reportedly leaks Asus Xbox Ally x While neither Xbox Ally Handhelds nor either model expected to actively target Steam Deck, it’s still surprising that the Xbox Ally X costs up to $999. This costs twice as much as a Base Steam Deck LCD and also has more than a few games of cache spares.
The new Asus Xbox Ally X can get spots with an extensive guide to the best gaming handhelds if they live up to expectations, but this reported price leak can make the handheld a difficult sell, as value plays a big role. In fact, this handheld will be the most expensive Xbox brand console ever, if the report is correct.
This price leak was from Asus Webstore in Spain, and was initially reported by NotebookCheck, but was subsequently removed. However, the image below is featured in the article, showing the Asus Xbox Ally at 599 euros and the Xbox Ally X priced at 899.01 euros.
Using current currency conversions, you could potentially place your Xbox Ally X at $1,050. In any case, it will be more expensive than the Base Ally X, and the most expensive game handheld from mainstream steam deck rivals has been with MSI claws since prices rose earlier this year.
For the Xbox Ally, it costs $699 based on current currency conversions, which seems much more reasonable, but it’s hard to say what the gaming performance will look like until you learn more about the power of the AMD Ryzen Z2 chip.
Given the greater power advantage over steam decks, it’s no surprise that the Xbox Ally model will be reportedly coming out above the Valve’s handheld price. However, it slowly creeps up the $1,000 price range for the handheld. This is the spot currently occupied by brands such as Ayaneo and Aokzoe. This is a device that is often made to order through crowd fundraising campaigns.
There’s time to decide if this leaked price is correct, so take it with salt grains for now. In the meantime, if the handheld is not your speed, you can check out our comprehensive guide to buying the best gaming PC.
