On the technical side, Vulkan API support gets a noticeable boost with a bunch of new extensions, along with the introduction of Work Graphs for Radeon RX 9000 series, which should help optimize workloads on these GPUs.

The update takes care of several annoying issues: it addresses intermittent application crashes with games like The Last of Us Part II on RX 7900 series, NBA 2K25 in MyCareer mode on RX 9070, and some Ryzen processors while gaming. It also fixes texture flickering in Serious Sam 4 and shadow corruption in VTOL VR on RX 7000 and 9000 series cards.

It’s worth noting that USB-C power charging has been disabled for the RX 7900 series in this release, and users needing that feature are advised to stick with an older driver version (25.3.1).
