Microsoft and Asus have confirmed the October release date for the ROG Xbox Ally X handheld but refused to reveal its price, citing global market uncertainty.

Asus and Xbox have introduced a ROG Ally Certified program that will help players discern what will work on the upcoming handheld, and what won't.

According to the VP, Microsoft envisions players having options like the Xbox ROG Ally for when they're on the move, and dedicated hardware when they come home that'll allow them to pick up from right where they left off.
