THIS new update is a GAMECHANGER for Xbox Ally & Ally X!!
In this video, we look at a huge new update that has started rolling out over these past few days for the Xbox Ally and Ally X handhelds, that introduces an absolutely game changing feature called Default Game Profiles.
Let's go through how to get this update including something that surprised me, and also the top 10 key aspects we need to know all about Default Game Profiles, including whether this will ever come over to the ROG Ally and Ally X handhelds.
Plus I’ll test out 3 games to see what difference this new Default Game Profile feature brings to us…
