Asus will sell a standalone version of its upcoming OLED Xbox Ally X20, according to a report from The Verge<\/a>, walking back earlier plans that would have required buyers to purchase the handheld bundled with a pair of Xreal AR glasses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An Asus spokesperson confirmed the change to The Verge, saying, “We are actively discussing the release schedule for a standalone version of the new Ally. Please stay tuned for upcoming announcements.”<\/p>\n

The Verge’s Sean Hollister, who spent two hours testing the device at Asus’s California offices, wrote that the OLED Ally could prove competitive with the recently released MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus. The review also highlighted ergonomic upgrades over last year’s Xbox Ally X, including new rubberized grips, quieter face buttons, and a reworked cooling system. Hollister singled out a “transforming” D-pad that can rotate between eight-way and four-way configurations, saying it made a noticeable difference in games like Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Verge did not report specific pricing or a release date for the standalone OLED Ally, though Hollister noted the device will likely cost more than the current $1,000 Xbox Ally X. The bundle with the ROG Xreal R1 Gaming Glasses could cost up to $2,000, though no price or launch date has been confirmed yet.<\/p>\n
