Major ROG Xbox Ally update increases battery life, improves performance and adds new features

ASUS has rolled out the largest update for the ROG Xbox Ally since its launch, making the device noticeably more compelling.

The ROG Ally X is Microsoft’s portable gaming system developed in collaboration with ASUS. The device runs the full PC games catalog, including titles available through Game Pass.

Key additions in this update include:

• new P‑Core and E‑Core profiles for the X model;
• quick access to fullscreen mode;
• FPS cap adjusted from 45 to 40 for better alignment with the 120 Hz display;
• improved power savings while in Modern Standby;
• enhanced in‑game performance via the AMD GPU driver V25.10.27;
• firmware stability improvements;
• general system refinements.

This is only a selection — the complete list of changes is available in the update documentation at the official changelog.

Bottom line: the unit runs significantly more reliably, frame rates have improved, and battery drain has been reduced. For a handheld of this class, these updates meaningfully extend playtime between charges.
