A New Update is Available for your ROG Xbox Ally

If you’re the proud owner of an ASUS ROG Xbox Ally, then this is for you. The team at ASUS have shared that there’s a new Armory Crate SE Update on the way, that brings with it a whole host of improvements. Time to get that new ROG Xbox Ally update installed!

In a post on social media, the ASUS team have ROG Xbox Ally fans a heads up, saying “Everyone! This is a BIG week for updates on the ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, ROG Xbox Ally, and ROG Xbox Ally X! A new Armoury Crate SE update is on the way, bringing expanded CPU and power controls, stability upgrades, and a series of fixes and improvements across both devices.“

We reviewed the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X on release, and while some of Microsoft’s software efforts are good, improvements are still needed – so it’s great to see that both ASUS and Xbox are keeping the updates coming!

In a post on the ASUS website, they’ve shared the full patch details. There’s a number of new elements here in this Armory Crate SE update, including “more options for configuring CPU and power, plus lots of other improvements and bug fixes. You’ll also find new MCU, BIOS, and other updates to improve overall stability and performance on both devices.“

If you’re looking to pick one up, head here to grab one for yourself – if it’s in stock of course.
