Microsoft is entering the handheld gaming market alongside Sony and Nintendo, with the Xbox ROG Ally and Xbox ROG Ally X. Although there’s been little official word on a release date, leaks about the upcoming console have been circulating since its unveiling. Recent reports suggest that pre-orders for the device may start soon, aligning with earlier leaks which could indicate their credibility. If accurate, gamers might not have to wait much longer to get their hands on the Xbox Ally.
As Dealabs reports, both the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X are expected to be up for sale and pre-order during the Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany, starting on August 20th. This day also marks when Microsoft will stage its event at Gamescom, where they might unveil a trailer revealing not only the commencement of pre-orders but also the eagerly awaited release date, which is currently speculated to be in October.
The report additionally discloses potential prices for the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, which align with earlier rumors at €599 and €899 respectively. This move by Microsoft targets competing with the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch 2. However, some believe the pricing may seem steep, even without converting to US dollars. Yet, if Hollow Knight: Silksong serves as a launch title, as some speculate following its reveal, it could potentially justify the cost.
While the August 20th date is currently being circulated, it’s essential to clarify that this is just speculation until an official announcement is made. Fortunately, Gamescom is coming up soon, which should provide fans with the answers they’re eagerly waiting for. If pre-orders become available during the event, fans should be prepared to act swiftly as there’s a strong possibility that the handheld Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X could sell out quickly.
