Winhanced for handhelds updates Smart Profile feature, adding support for 16 more games with multiple configs

The Winhanced application for Windows handhelds has updated its Smart Profile feature, adding support for 16 new games, including recent releases like Forza Horizon 6 and Subnautica 2, bringing the total to 25 supported titles. Smart Profiles allow users to apply community-shared configurations for device and GPU settings with a single tap, solving the complexity of manually configuring games on devices like the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. The feature, which launched with 8 games in February, now includes multiple configs per game, though not all listed titles have ready-to-apply profiles yet.

Winhanced for handhelds updates Smart Profile feature, adding support for 16 more games with multiple configs Table of Contents Smart Profiles were first introduced to Winhanced in an update back in February, bringing a few different ‘AutoPilot’ modes to let you choose between the best balance, best performance, or best visuals. It launched with support for 8 games, and now, community-made profiles are being expanded and have been made visible on the Winhanced website. Winhanced 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. Latest Winhanced updates One 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. Version 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. Smart 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. The 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. It then evolved into something more: anyone can share their own configuration, and anyone else can apply it in a single tap.
