Xbox has big plans for Gamescom 2025 with an extensive range of playable titles (including the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong) and hands-on time with the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X. Rumors have run rampant about prices and pre-orders opening in August, but Dealabs’ billbil-kun has narrowed the date down.
Pre-orders reportedly go live on August 20th, and they reaffirm the rumored prices of €599 for the ROG Xbox Ally and €899 for the Xbox Ally X. The release date hasn’t been confirmed, but this only lends further credence to reports of late October launch.
For its part, Microsoft has only indicated that both handheld PCs will be available by this Holiday season. It’s hosting the first day of its Xbox @ Gamescom 2025 broadcast on August 20th at 6 AM PDT with a focus on the ROG Xbox Ally, so pre-orders could very well open by then. Stay tuned for more details and updates in the meantime.
