Microsoft launched its new handheld console the ROG Xbox Ally X last month, but fans are still struggling to get hold of one.
The cheaper ROG Xbox Ally is, according to Microsoft, “the essential handheld at a great value for everyone from the casual player to the avid enthusiast” while the more premium ROG Xbox Ally X is designed to be “the ultimate high-performance handheld, built for the most demanding players.”
“Everything at Xbox starts with the player,” continued a statement. “That’s why we’ve dedicated years to reimagining how to make it easier to enjoy the games you love—wherever you are. Whether you’re at home or on the go, your favourite games should follow you.”
The ROG Xbox Ally costs £499.99 and the ROG Xbox Ally X is priced at £799.99. These prices have been heavily criticised by some gamers, especially when compared to the Xbox Series X (£499.99), the Nintendo Switch 2 (£395) and the base Steam Deck (£349).
However, almost a month since it launched, fans are still struggling across the UK to get hold of the consoles. Official retailers Currys and ASUS are both currently sold out of the ROG Xbox Ally X console while a majority of places stocking the base model are also out of stock. On eBay, the ROG Xbox Ally X is being sold for more than £1000.
