Xbox Ally X20 Gold Preorders Start Today

The update

Preorders for the Xbox Ally X20 Gold are now open. This special edition device marks ROG’s 20th anniversary and features an OLED display, TMR joysticks, and a transforming D-pad. The system retains the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor and 24GB of memory found in the standard Xbox Ally X. It is available as a standalone handheld for $1,299 or as a bundle with the Asus ROG Xreal R1 glasses for $2,499.

Why it matters

This launch comes amid broader industry discussions about rising component costs. Despite a global shortage of RAM affecting many tech categories, Asus has maintained a competitive price point for this specific device. The Gold edition offers a premium upgrade path for existing Xbox Ally X owners looking for an OLED screen and specialized controls.

What to watch

Consumers should compare the standalone price of the X20 Gold against the bundle option to determine the best value. The availability of the glasses separately at $849 suggests the bundle price includes significant accessories beyond the headset itself.
