![]() To that end, Asus includes a 3-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in with the Ally. This means you’re free to get your games from other storefronts, such as Epic, GOG, Itch.io, or perhaps most notably, Xbox Game Pass. In the plus column, it means that any PC game will run on the Ally without issue, while the Steam Deck is limited to Steam games only, at least without a significant number of hoops and caveats. This is both its greatest strength and a significant weakness. Where the Steam Deck runs Valve’s custom Linux-based SteamOS, the Ally runs on plain old Windows 11. One of the biggest differentiating factors between the ROG Ally and the Steam Deck is the operating system. ![]() With the cheapest Steam Deck only costing $399 (maxing out at $649 for the priciest model), and the Ayaneo 2 costing anywhere between $1099 to $1499, $699 isn’t the most extravagant price we’ve seen and actually comes across pretty reasonable for what you’re getting. In the context of handheld PC gaming in 2023, the Ally tends to run somewhere in the middle of overall affordability. As much as the ROG Ally is a handheld gaming device, it’s also worth remembering that it’s pretty much a mini Windows PC, and packs the specs to warrant such a price tag. The ROG Ally is available for $599 for the 256GB model, running with the AMD Ryzen Z1 chipset, while the Z1 Extreme model with 512GB of SSD storage will set you back $699 instead.
