Microsoft has officially confirmed that both the Xbox Ally and its more powerful sibling, the Xbox Ally X, will launch worldwide on October 16th.

Pre-orders are already live on Microsoft’s official website, giving eager gamers a chance to secure their unit ahead of release.

The pricing has also been revealed:

  • Xbox Ally – 699 €
  • Xbox Ally X – 1099 €

With this move, Microsoft is clearly positioning the Ally as a direct competitor in the handheld gaming market, while the Ally X is aimed at enthusiasts willing to pay extra for top-tier performance.

Gamers now face the choice between affordability and raw power—but either way, the October 16th release is shaping up to be a major moment for portable gaming.
