On August 14th, the AYANEO & KONKR Product Sharing Session met with players again. This session not only brought the latest updates on the KONKR Pocket Advance, but also launched a number of player co-creation activities targeting developers, localization players and content creators, while announcing a major upgrade to the Windows version of AYASpace. We hope that a handheld console will not only be a platform for games, but also a platform where players, developers and creators can participate and create together.

The vitality of a handheld never lies solely in the device itself. This time, KONKR Pocket Advance officially launches the Developer Incentive Program, which provides prototype units for developers who already have existing works, and also welcomes developers who are currently in the creation process to participate. Whether it is an application, a tool, or a brand-new gaming experience, as long as you have an idea, you will have the opportunity to bring it to life on a real device. Meanwhile, the AYANEO Developer Community is also set to launch soon, serving as a platform for developers to communicate and collaborate.

There will still be a One More Thing for players in today's LIVE, and outstanding developers participating in the program will also have the chance to get the exclusive KONKR Pocket Advance Developer Special Edition. This is a non-sale version built exclusively for developers, featuring unique button and nameplate colorways that blend retro style and geek spirit, serving as a special commemoration for developers' participation in ecosystem construction.

This sharing session also brings a pleasant surprise for Windows handheld gamers: our software team has been continuously optimizing AYANEO's self-developed handheld management software, AYASpace. The Windows version of AYASpace has undergone a major upgrade, with the new version delivering comprehensive improvements across game library, image quality, drivers, hardware controls, and system experience, introducing 16+ new features, 27+ issue fixes, and 9+ experience optimizations, making the Windows handheld experience more complete.

The new AYASpace rebuilds the game library and launch experience, adding scan progress display, incremental scanning, and launch wait mechanisms; it also offers five themes, nine languages, and HDR support for select models. The newly added FSR upscaling feature supports one-click magnification and provides approximately 40 image quality parameters, while driver management, PawnIO detection, joystick calibration, vibration modes, and new device adaptation have also been further improved.

In terms of issue fixes, the new AYASpace has optimized a large number of issues related to Steam game recognition and launch, FSR stability, quick settings, virtual keyboard, physical buttons, controller takeover, dual-screen devices, display settings, and performance monitoring, while further improving driver installation, system updates, and notification center experience, making daily use more stable and reliable.

At the same time, AYASpace has further reduced background resource usage, restructured intelligent power consumption logic, and optimized the performance overlay, game scanning, playtime statistics, joystick mouse, as well as dual-screen and external large-screen experiences, ensuring a smoother and more natural experience for players from game launch to gameplay.

The official version of the updated AYASpace will be fully rolled out soon, so stay tuned! The beta version is available for immediate experience, and players are welcome to download and install it. We thank every player for their feedback and suggestions—every piece of input from you helps make AYASpace better.

From KONKR Pocket Advance to AYASpace, from developers and localization players to content creators, and down to every everyday gamer—AYANEO is working to bring more people into the handheld ecosystem. We believe that a truly vibrant handheld is not just about better hardware, but also about ever-growing content and community. This time, we're handing the stage over to the players, and we look forward to every idea and every passion creating even more possibilities for the dream of handheld gaming.
