If you’ve been eyeing the ASUS ROG Ally, now’s the time to make your move. This gaming handheld, which took the market by storm upon its June launch, has been the talk of the town. Up until the recent debut of Lenovo Legion Go, it stood uncontested as the ultimate gaming handheld champion. According to Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, the ROG Ally is like having an “Xbox on the Go,” as he enthusiastically shared in an interview with Eurogamer.

What’s the deal, you ask? For just $599.99 (for My Best Buy Plus or Total members) or $619.99, if you’re not a member, you can score yourself a brand-new ASUS ROG Ally. And guess what? No matter your membership status, you’ll receive a 1-month free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial bundled in. But hold on, the savings don’t stop there. If you’re open to exploring open-box deals, you could snag one for as low as $495.99 (prices may vary) at the time of writing.

Why should you be excited about the ROG Ally? Well, it’s the Xbox handheld dreams are made of. It comes preloaded with Windows 11 and seamlessly integrates with Game Pass. Plus, thanks to Xbox’s top-notch cloud saves, your game progress effortlessly transitions between your PC, Xbox, and ROG Ally. And here’s a gem of a feature that often goes unnoticed: the Variable Refresh Rate display. This nifty feature ensures your games run smoothly, even if they aren’t consistently hitting 60 fps.
