During the last few months of 2025, the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X finally made their grand debut to take on gaming handheld heavyweights like the Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go.

The Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X sold out quickly over the 2025 autumn and winter seasons. However, the Xbox Ally X has managed to find new stock at Best Buy for the retail price of $999.99.

For those unaware, the Xbox Ally X is a new gaming handheld that improves upon the technical performance of the ASUS ROG Ally X while incorporating compatibility for Microsoft's Xbox ecosystem.

It's able to run games at rock-solid framerates above 60fps thanks to its advanced AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor, comfortable ergonomic grips, efficient and silent cooling systems, intuitive Xbox Game Bar integration, a high-quality 7-inch IPS display with 120HZ and VRR, and much more.

Our own gaming handheld expert, Rebecca Spear, gave the Xbox Ally X a staggeringly high 4.5/5 review, stating that it's, and I quote, "...a worthy successor to the ROG Ally X and offers excellent handheld performance to keep up with a wide library of PC games. Its grips also provide a very comfortable holding experience on a handheld."

So, if you have missed out on grabbing an Xbox Ally X during 2025 and fancy grabbing one of the best gaming handhelds in the premium category to play 2026's upcoming Xbox and PC games on the go, then now's the time to do so at Best Buy before it sells out again.
