Asus' Special Gold ROG Xbox Ally X20 Is Surprisingly Affordable – If You Avoid the Bundle

While everything seems to be going up in price lately due to an ongoing RAMageddon that doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon, Asus' handhelds have somehow avoided the price increases that are hitting everything in the category. The company's special anniversary version of the Xbox Ally X is a bit more expensive than the regular version, but it's not by much.

At gamescom, Asus revealed a bit more information about the upcoming gold-themed version of the Xbox Ally X to celebrate ROG's 20th anniversary, called, what else, the Xbox Ally X20. This is essentially the same system as the original Xbox Ally X, just with an OLED display, TMR joysticks, and a fancy new D-pad. Okay, well at least the innards remain the same, with the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme and 24GB of memory.

Back when Asus announced the X20, I was worried this was going to be a sneaky way to refresh the handheld with a couple new features to raise the price to the same degree as something like the Lenovo Legion Go 2 or the Steam Deck — especially since, back then, it was announced as only part of a bundle with the Asus ROG Xreal R1 glasses I reviewed a few weeks ago.

Luckily, Asus will be releasing the Xbox Ally X20 as a standalone handheld for $1,299, or as a bundle with the glasses for $2,499. That is more expensive than the existing Xbox Ally X, which you can get for about $999 right now.
