ASUS ROG Ally X recommended drivers are now available as launch day arrives

ASUS ROG Ally X, the successor to the ROG Ally, has finally launched after a brief period of pre-orders. ASUS has been gearing up for the launch for a while now. Earlier last week, the company launched a major Armoury Crate SE update for its newest handheld console as well, gearing up for an exciting launch.

Along with the handheld and the Armoury Crate updates, ASUS has also listed downloads for recommended drivers. And while these drivers get downloaded automatically, it doesn’t hurt to check if everything is in place.
