And to back it up, there is already a surprising new deal I didn&#8217;t think we&#8217;d see at all this year. The new Asus ROG Xbox Ally was released back in October along the Xbox Ally X and this is the first time it has ever been discounted.<\/p>\n<div catalogid=\"e304cc63-5985-4f2e-ad5d-dfbd71593d6f\" id=\"232886\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"232886\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"ASUS ROG Xbox Ally\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/11\/30\/61gzgeavwgl-sl1500-1764474428959.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/11\/30\/61gzgeavwgl-sl1500-1764474428959.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/11\/30\/61gzgeavwgl-sl1500-1764474428959.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">ASUS ROG Xbox Ally<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: According the the sale page, this is a flash sale that will end at 10 PM PT. We likely won&#8217;t see this discount again after that.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The regular Xbox Ally wasn&#8217;t nearly as popular as the Xbox Ally X at launch, largely because it isn&#8217;t nearly as powerful. We reviewed the Xbox Ally X and found it to be the overall best gaming handheld PC in existence right now. The standard Xbox Ally is more comparable to the Steam Deck with a a much lower price tag than the $1,000 the X version costs.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The main differences between the two models lies in the specs. The standard Xbox Ally runs on the AMD Ryzen Z2 A chipset while the more powerful model comes packing the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme. The Xbox Ally also comes with less storage, with only a 512GB SSD compared to the 1TB in the Ally X. That can be easily remedied by upgrading the storage separately, but that would only add to the cost.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-title jsx-959792410 jsx-2659527929 quote-container\" data-cy=\"quoteBox\">&#8220;The reason to buy the Xbox Ally over the Xbox Ally X is the much lower price point.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The reason to buy the Xbox Ally over the Xbox Ally X is the much lower price point. With this discount, the standard Ally is now half the price of the Ally X. It may not be powerful enough to run all of the modern AAA games with ease, but it can still play pretty much any compatible PC game and works great for remote play if you already have an Xbox. It also comes equipped with the Xbox Full Screen Experience right off the bat.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you&#8217;re holding out for a discount the Xbox Ally X, I wouldn&#8217;t keep holding your breath. The Xbox Ally X is on backorder until January right now and is probably too popular to get a price cut until something better comes out to take its place as the &#8220;best gaming handheld pc&#8221;.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Follow IGN Deals Coverage<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
