There is an update for MY23 too. Thanks to @wtumrd0 for the files. I was able to install it on my 23 and it took 5 minutes. I am uploading it as we speak and will post links once done. This time around I used this folder structure and it worked...

Make that at least two because I also updated my 23 Ascent using those same files for the 23 Outback. Thanks to @chvvkumar for sharing.At least one member on the Outback forums updated their Ascent this way:

Does anybody know if this update will eventually make it to be over wifi? If so I can wait rather than going via USB.
I looked last night and no updates were available, however I was able to update the maps via wifi. I thought that was a USB-only thing. I chose to only update California. It was 1GB but was very fast.

That was expected. At release date, Portrait Mode was still in beta at Google, and Subaru (Denso) were programming to the beta interfaces and code.
Related to that, 2020-2022 Outbacks have now gained Portrait Mode via the similar updated code that just got rolled out for the 2023 Ascents, to take advantage of Google's more recent code.
Did this today on my 23 Ascent. More back and forth between pages to figure out what to download and how to set it up than I would like, but once I got everything on a USB drive, the updating itself was really easy/fast. Not sure why the "source" did not just put the files in an archive of some sort so that you could download that one file and extract.
Either way, I've done just that, I think i am allowed to post that here?
Ascent Firmware 68x
Easy download of the zip file and extract to a USB drive.

2020-2022 Outbacks they say still no Portrait Mode for Google's , apple was long time ago
last update made climate controls look like 2023

I just performed the update using the instructions here and additional specifics from the same forum members who also post over on the Outback forum. The update applied to a 2023 Ascent Touring.
Can also confirm you only need the directory and file on the USB stick that applies to your trim level. That's all I loaded. To future updaters, set up the directory structure on the USB for your trim level and only download the single ALLUPD-NAVI applicable. To make sense of this...read the Outback forum thread. Neither Chrome or Explorer keeps those files in a single zip containing the directory structure downloading from Google Drive. Why...don't know, maybe the file size.
I followed the TSB to the letter. I did experience the "RARE case of “Software update setup is initializing…” message" shown in Appendix A of the TSB. Followed those instructions, with the car idling, and after about 15 minutes (didn't time it), the "initialization complete" message showed up.
Special thanks to the members posting and hosting the updates!

Good summary. Just so others know, if you get the software update initializing message, you can just drive the car and it will finish while you drive, or you can sit and let it idle. The important thing is after the update is first installed, turn everything off and exit the car for at least 3 minutes. After that it pretty much completes on its own regardless of what you do. Subaru has done a good job of making the update process less prone to errors. In 2020 there were a lot of dealer-failed installs from not having the patience to follow the tsb instructions to the letter, but since then things have settled down. The Ascent community has the advantage of three model years experience doing updates on the Outback.
