It launched with support for 8 games, and now, community-made profiles are being expanded and have been made visible on the Winhanced website.\nWinhanced can be seen as an alternative to the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE), aiming to provide players with a more console-like interface for Windows handhelds such as the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go series. It’s developed by a small team and enjoys regular updates – the devs recently said they’re “right around the corner” from releasing version 1.0.\nLatest Winhanced updates\nOne of the most recent versions of Winhanced is 0.9.6.9. The patch improves PlayStation Library support, polishes controller navigation, and adds a toggle for the ‘Specular Highlights’ option (which adds a glossy effect to the UI). Development is split into two versions: the free-for-everyone build and the Early Access build for Patreon and Discord supporters, who get patches sooner.\nVersion 0.9.7.6 was also just uploaded to the project’s official Discord, which adds the Legion Go 2 to the official list of supported devices, while introducing performance improvements “across the board in games” and quicker game launch/close.\nSmart Profiles started to solve a specific problem: when someone comes from playing on console and picks up a PC handheld, configuring a game properly isn’t straightforward. What resolution? What upscaling? How much TDP? Too many variables at once.\nThe original idea was simple: know what settings a game already has (in-game settings) so you can apply the right configuration to both the device and the GPU. That started as a set of pre-made profiles – curated configurations that just work.\nIt then evolved into something more: anyone can share their own configuration, and anyone else can apply it in a single tap.\nDeveloper ‘0degreez’ via Winhanced Discord Server\nSmart Profile game list (so far)\n- ARC Raiders (Steam)\n- Baldur’s Gate 3 (Steam)\n- Black Myth: Wukong (Steam)\n- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Xbox)\n- Crimson Desert (Steam)\n- Cyberpunk 2077 (Steam)\n- Days Gone (Steam)\n- Diablo IV (Steam)\n- Elden Ring (Steam)\n- Forza Horizon 5 (Xbox)\n- Forza Horizon 6 (Steam, Xbox)\n- God of War (Steam)\n- Helldivers 2 (Steam)\n- Hogwarts Legacy (Xbox, Epic)\n- Kingdom Come Deliverance (Steam)\n- Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered (Steam, Epic)\n- Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (Steam)\n- Monster Hunter Wilds (Steam)\n- No Man’s Sky (Steam)\n- Pragmata (Steam)\n- Red Dead Redemption (Steam)\n- Resident Evil 4 – 2005 (Steam)\n- Resident Evil Requiem (Steam)\n- Silent Hill f (Steam)\n- Subnautica 2 (Steam)\nA total of 25 games are listed above, 16 of which were recently added, including fresh releases Forza Horizon 6 and Subnautica 2.
