ROG Xbox Ally pre-orders to begin at Gamescom
It has been just over a month since the ROG Xbox Ally handheld was announced. The handheld is set to be a centrepiece of the Xbox Gamescom booth in August, and following multiple leaks in recent weeks, we now seem to have confirmation on when the handheld will become available.
Renowned leaker, bilbill-kun of Dealabs, has published a new report focused on the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X. The report confirms earlier leaks that pointed to a €599 starting price, going up to €899 for the top-end model. However, the real interesting part of the report is the claimed launch dates.
It is claimed that the ROG Xbox Ally X and the ROG Xbox Ally will apparently go up for pre-order on August 20th, the same day Gamescom begins. With that in mind, there is likely to be another announcement spot for the system as part of Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live stream. The first units should ship out to customers by October.
There will be two versions of the Xbox Ally system. A base version featuring a Ryzen Z2A APU, and a more powerful version with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme.
The Ryzen Z2A features four Zen 2 CPU cores with eight threads and an 8-CU RDNA 2 iGPU. The Z2 Extreme bumps this up to eight Zen 5 CPU cores and a bigger RDNA 3.5 iGPU, making it ideal for running more graphically intensive titles.
KitGuru Says: The price is very high, but this is also shaping up to be the most interesting PC gaming handheld on the market, in large part due to its exclusive preview of the new ‘gaming UI' for Windows. The post ROG Xbox Ally pre-orders to begin at Gamescom first appeared on KitGuru.
