At the Xbox Game Showcase on June 8, Microsoft said the two new handheld consoles will be available in Australia, France, Japan, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States and 21 other markets during the 2025 holiday season.

Both devices will feature the same 70-inch 1080p LCD display, but the Xbox Ally X will have a larger 80Whr battery, while the Xbox Ally has a 60Whr battery.
