The OLED Xbox Ally X20 officially starts at $1,300
Asus has officially released the standalone Xbox Ally X20 handheld gaming PC for $1,300, removing the previous requirement to purchase it as part of a bundle. The device features an OLED screen and improved ergonomics, with shipping scheduled for October 15th.
Why it matters
The release marks a shift in consumer hardware strategy, offering high-end portable gaming options to enthusiasts without forcing bundled accessories.
The Asus Xbox Ally X20 looked like it could be one of the best handheld gaming PCs yet made — but originally, Asus wanted you to buy a bundle pairing it with pricy AR glasses. In July, we told you that bundle would no longer be necessary, and today it’s official: you can pre-order a standalone handheld at Best Buy or Asus’s online store for $1,300, shipping October 15th.
Asus spokesperson Don Nguyen tells us it’s the same basic ROG 20th Anniversary handheld I tried at its US offices, so you should be getting a translucent gadget with gold trim.
