Leaked pricing suggests the ROG Xbox Ally X might be the most expensive Xbox console yet, which probably isn't the award Microsoft is aiming for

Microsoft may have announced the ROG Xbox Ally range as "an Xbox you can hold in your hands", but it looks like gamers may have to pay a tidy sum for the privilege. Spanish gaming website 3DJuegos spotted what look like leaked listings for both the ROG Xbox Ally and the ROG Xbox Ally X on the Asus store for €599 and €899 respectively.

Translated directly into freedom dollars, that would make the ROG Xbox Ally roughly $700, and the X variant an eye-watering $1,050. Though it's likely not to be a 1-1 exchange. In fact, Europe often gets the worst end of the stick and the final dollar price might be a fair bit lower.

The pricing has since been removed, but should it prove to be correct it would make the ROG Xbox Ally X the most expensive official Xbox console ever by a considerable margin, a perhaps unenviable title. Still, it's not like the regular Asus ROG Ally X is particularly cheap, and this Xbox version has the Strix Point-based AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme to play with.
