Microsoft has just announced a new ROG Xbox Ally feature that should help boost battery life while maintaining great game performance. Named 'Default Game Profiles,' the feature applies optimal power and FPS limit settings to supported games, saving you from having to optimize your settings yourself. Already supporting 40 games, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Doom: The Dark Ages, and Minecraft, the setting will be applied by default when you're running your handheld on battery, making it a completely seamless experience.
