Summary

- Updates aim to make the Xbox Ally feel more like a console.
- Microsoft plans to add AI upscaling and cloud save sync next year.
Microsoft is progressively transforming the Asus ROG Xbox Ally into a more console-like handheld device through software updates. The latest improvements focus on simplifying the gaming experience by introducing Default Game Profiles for 40 titles, which automatically configure graphics and thermal design power (TDP) for stable performance.
These profiles aim to eliminate the need for manual tinkering with game settings, allowing for a more seamless play session. Games like Fortnite, Gears of War, and Sea of Thieves are among those supporting these new presets, offering a more consistent frame rate and improved battery life compared to previous settings.
Looking ahead, Microsoft plans to roll out additional features, including its AI upscaling technology, Auto Super Resolution, and a game save sync indicator for cloud saves. These upcoming enhancements underscore Microsoft's strategy to bridge the gap between PC and console gaming on a handheld platform.
