AMD critics began pointing out this week that the company hasn’t released a new Adrenalin driver for Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics cards in months, leading some to fear that red team was already distancing itself from its older, but still perfectly capable, RDNA 2 gaming GPUs. Frank Azor, AMD’s Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions (and Alienware co-founder), has now mitigated those worries, having taken to Twitter this afternoon to assure everyone that new drivers for older Radeon products are still in development. Radeon RX 6000 Series users can expect the first of these to emerge within the next two weeks, although a delay doesn’t seem to be out of the question.
From a Frank Azor tweet:
We’re working on new @amdradeon drivers for 6000 series and prior gen cards. Aiming to release them within the next 2 weeks. Will provide another update if we run into any delays and as we get closer to posting them. Thank you for your patience

The last @amdradeon RDNA2, and older, driver was out in November 2022 even though they claim to be a December release

22.11.2 ( for who doesn't know, it's year-month-version)
January is over, that means @AMD hasn't put out a driver for 2 months now
