Ouya is getting a makeover — the Ouya 2 is set to go into production early next year and its controllers have already gotten some much-needed refinements, including reduced latency and less-mushy buttons.

The PS4 Link app, functionality for which will also be added in the patch, will launch in North America on Nov. 13 and in Europe Nov. 22.
