Microsoft announced its Gamescom 2025 presence featuring more than twenty games alongside demonstrations of the ROG Xbox Ally handhelds. Industry leaker Billbil-kun from Dealabs indicates pre-orders will begin August 20, 2025. The source confirms European pricing at €599 for the standard model and €899 for the X variant. Regional pricing for other markets remains unspecified. Xbox will broadcast coverage on August 20 and 21.
Pricing announcements may occur during Gamescom ONL on August 19, preceding the pre-order launch. Players speculate about connections between the handheld release and Hollow Knight Silksong availability. The anticipated game appeared during the Ally reveal presentation and will feature playable demonstrations at the Xbox booth. Gaming enthusiasts theorize Microsoft plans to release the handheld after Silksong launches to ensure compatibility. Gamescom represents the final major announcement event before The Game Awards concludes the year.
