Asus is slated to officially reveal the details of its upcoming handheld console next month, but the price is already out and Valve should be very worried.
The Asus ROG Ally is already setting itself up as a strong Steam Deck competitor with everything from the ergonomic design, the specs, and the fact that it supports Windows 11. In fact, if you look at everything we know so far about the Asus ROG Ally vs Steam Deck, the price was the unknown factor that could very well tip the scale from PC gaming's darling Valve over to Asus. And now that it's leaked, Valve needs to respond.
The titbit comes from reputable tech tipster @SnoopyTech who tweeted out a price for the Asus ROG Ally premium model that houses the AMD Z1 Extreme chip. According to them, it'll come in at $699, which is around £560 / AU$1,058 – but bear in mind that hardware (and software) regional pricing is rarely a straight conversion.
