Overview
- Amazon and Best Buy are selling the ROG Xbox Ally for $499 after a $100 price drop.
- The new price is $50 below Valve's Steam Deck OLED, sharpening the value comparison.
- The discount appears to be a retailer offer rather than an official price change from Asus or Microsoft, so its duration is unclear.
- The device runs Windows 11 with an Xbox full-screen launcher that gives direct access to Game Pass and PC stores like Steam and Epic Games.
- PCGamesN reports Valve has ended Steam Deck LCD production, which could limit the supply of cheaper Steam Deck models.
