A leaked listing on MX2 Games, a retailer’s website, suggests that the Asus ROG Ally handheld gaming console may soon be launched in India. The pricing and launch date of the device have been revealed on the website, giving gaming enthusiasts a sneak peek before its official launch in the country. The device is expected to debut in two variants, but the prices for both models suggest that Indian gamers may end up paying more than their US counterparts for these portable gaming devices.
According to the leaked pricing, the Asus ROG Ally with the AMD Z1 processor will be priced at Rs. 71,499, while the model with the AMD Z1 Extreme chip will cost Rs. 79,999. These prices are significantly higher than the launch prices of the device in the US, where pricing is set at $599 and $699, respectively.
It is worth noting that while the listing for the Asus ROG Ally reveals a launch date of June 16, the company has not officially announced any plans to launch the device in India. The global availability of the device is confirmed for June 13, which suggests that these devices could be imported models.

The device is equipped with a Hi-Res certified dual speaker system, with Dolby Atmos, and an inbuilt array microphone with AI noise-cancelling technology. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, and a USB Type-C port that can be used to charge the inbuilt 40WHr four-cell Li-ion battery at 65W.
