ROG Xbox Ally X Price Jumps AU$200 in Australia

Industry reporting points to higher component costs; Asus has not commented.

Overview

  • Australian retailers including JB Hi‑Fi and Asus direct now list the handheld at AU$1,799, up from AU$1,599.
  • PC Gamer reports the increase is reflected across sellers that carry the device directly in Australia.
  • The ROG Xbox Ally X launched in late 2025 as a premium model and was already considered expensive at debut.
  • A separate price rise was recently reported in Japan, whereas U.S. listings still show $999.99 for the higher‑spec model.
  • Outlets attribute the regional hikes to pricier, scarce high‑speed memory and storage, though no official reason has been given.
