Visual studio Enterprise 2017, Version 15.5.4 Windows 10 Microsoft Open R 3.4.1 Microsoft R Client 3.3.2.0

It depends on what is on the current CRAN mirror. The mirror can be changed in Tools | Options | R. As far as I can see, devtools is still 1.12. RStudio

I see, thank you! I actually believe the R version I listed above was 3.3 instead of 3.4 at the time I took the screenshot, I just grabbed the latest R client from http://aka.ms/rclient/ and re opened visual studio and now my devtools version is listed as 1.13.3. I guess this updated my mirror?

It is not automatically updated (it is in Tools | Options | R) , but client may choose to map it to a different mirror. I wouldn't be surprised if MS R Client would use MRAN and not CRAN mirror.
