Xbox Ally gets game compatibility indicators — and OG Ally owners get a nice Armoury Crate update too

ASUS and Microsoft have rolled out updates improving both the Xbox Ally and original ROG Ally, with the Xbox app adding handheld compatibility indicators and Armoury Crate SE 2.1.10 delivering key quality-of-life upgrades like a revamped Command Center, battery care tools, and controller mapping support.
