Microsoft's Surface Go has a new firmware update available. The June firmware update doesn't bring any new features but improves performance for the device and a key accessory (via WindowsBlogItalia).

The update brings improvements to pen support and touch support for the Surface Go. The Surface Go is a great companion device for when you're on the move thanks to its compact size and support for touch, pen, and keyboard. Any improvements to these core aspects of the device will help improve the device experience.

If you're using a Surface Go, you should be able to grab the latest firmware updates now via Windows Update. These updates are available for devices running the Windows 10 April 2018 Update or later.
