Grab the ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handheld Now for Just $489—Limited Time Offer!

There’s still a chance to snag a great deal on the first official Xbox gaming handheld. The Asus ROG Xbox Ally, which debuted in October with a $600 price tag, is currently available for $489 at Amazon and Walmart, $490 at Best Buy, and $520 at Target. While the end date for this deal isn’t clear, it’s still active as of December 17. The $489 price at Amazon marks a new low for this recently launched Windows gaming handheld. Additionally, Amazon has restocked the official Xbox Ally 2-in-1 Premium Case. If you grab the Xbox Ally from Amazon, be sure to check out the range of third-party accessories now available, including docking stations, screen protectors, travel cases, and microSD UHS-II cards. Although it often sells out, the official Xbox Ally 2-in-1 Premium Case is currently in stock. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can access a library of hundreds of games for the Xbox Ally. If you’re looking to get a membership, it’s better to purchase from a major retailer rather than directly from Microsoft. The price for Game Pass Ultimate rose to $30/month in October, but you can still find prepaid codes for $20/month at major retailers.

If you want to play your Xbox Ally on a TV or switch to the standard Windows OS interface, you’ll need a USB-C docking station. The official Asus ROG Xbox Ally 100W Charger Dock is priced at $85 (down from $100), but there are solid third-party options available that include a stand. UGREEN’s 6-in-1 Docking Station is currently on sale for just $30 (was $46) for a limited time. You can also opt for a 9-in-1 model with extra ports for $46 (was $60). The JSAUX Docking Station & 100W Charger is available for $50 (was $70) and comes with an AC adapter, giving you a second charger. If you don’t need an extra charger, the same JSAUX 6-in-1 Docking Station is priced at $33.24 (was $40). Another noteworthy option is iVanky’s 14-in-1 RGB Docking Station for $65 (was $80), which offers more ports for accessories and supports a 144Hz refresh rate.
