- Linked Playback Devices: Tired of changing playback devices individually for game, chat, media, and aux? Now you can link the playback devices across all channels! Changing the device in one channel will automatically apply the same setting everywhere, making your audio management seamless.
- Device Manager: Users can now control all aspects of their devices from one central location! With the new Device Manager, you can easily manage your backup device switch, modify priority, and exclude device shortcuts.

Moments
- We’ve fixed auto-clipping events for Fortnite’s new season, ensuring Headshot clips are captured correctly. Additionally, for Warzone’s latest season, we’ve addressed issues with Victory, Top Placed, and Kill events so you never miss a key moment.
- We’ve also improved navigation visibility for auto-clipping events
- Plus, we’ve started rolling out our new automatic capture mode, which records only your gameplay when conditions are just right (Win11, no exclusive mode)—so you get the best moments without unnecessary distractions like desktop elements out of your game.
QuickSet
- You gave us feedback, we listened! We’ve added the option to disable QuickSet Profiles to give you the outmost flexibility to use Profiles whenever you want to. Play games, not settings.
- We’ve also updated our onboarding for QuickSet, giving you easy control over your profiles, keyboard presets, and Sonar presets, all from the start.
