Handheld gaming consoles are all the rage right now. With the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, the success of Valve’s Steam Deck and the rise of portable PCs, it’s no wonder Microsoft is about to enter the space.
Microsoft first announced the ROG Xbox Ally at its annual Xbox Games Showcase in June, where it showed off the entry-level ROG Xbox Ally and the more premium ROG Xbox Ally X, developed in partnership with Asus. More recently, on 20 August, the gaming giant announced at Gamescom that both handhelds will launch worldwide this October. Now, pre-orders are live at Asus and many major retailers in the UK, which means you can secure it ahead of its release next month.
