After several weeks of rumours, both Asus and Xbox have announced when their collaborative handheld consoles will be available to buy. The ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Xbox Ally will go on sale in the UK and other regions on 16 October 2025 – a date that has leaked in recent times.

We presume the same release schedule applies to the more powerful ROG Xbox Ally X. Both versions of the upcoming handheld are official, with ASUS and Microsoft having previously announced the collaboration on an Xbox-themed version of the ROG Ally. However, they've been coy in regards to releasing timing and price points.

We finally know when we'll be getting our hands on the exciting new Xbox gaming handheld PC, and we only need to wait until October.
