ASUS announced today that its ROG Ally portable gaming computer will go on sale starting on June 13. Preorders will begin today, May 11. The device will cost $700 in the U.S. £700 in the UK.
Nintendo helped to make portable, tablet-like gaming consoles popular with its Switch, and then Valve entered the market with its high-end Steam Deck. The ROG Ally, though more expensive than the top $649 Steam Deck SKU, boasts some impressive specs. It’ll also give players the ability to officially access games from outside of the Steam ecosystem on-the-go.
This includes Xbox Game Pass on PC. In fact, the ROG Ally will come with three months of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription service.
