News & Reviews:   ROG Xbox Ally Malaysia launch

Finally, after four months, ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) Malaysia has officially opened pre-orders for its brand-new ROG Xbox Ally series gaming handhelds. The lineup includes the ROG Xbox Ally and the more powerful ROG Xbox Ally X, developed in collaboration with Xbox to merge the best of PC and console gaming into a single device.

The long-anticipated ROG Xbox Ally and its beefed-up sibling, the ROG Xbox Ally X, are now available for preorder — and their price tags make it clear these are premium handhelds, not casual throwaways. At least, that's for the foreign markets, and we don't know what are the local prices. But we can expect it to be similar.

Gamers may not have to wait much longer for Microsoft and ASUS' highly anticipated ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X. A fresh leak suggests both models will officially launch on 20 August 2025, coinciding with their showcase at Gamescom 2025.

After our last report of the alleged Xbox portable gaming console delay, we got a surprise announcement of the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X. It was officially unveiled before the Xbox Games Showcase livestream, and here's everything you need to know.
