Windows 10 is Getting a High-Performance Game Mode
Windows 10 Game Mode will be available in preview builds starting this week.
Microsoft is making some significant upgrades to Windows 10's gaming capabilities with the Windows 10 Creators Update. Till now we haven't had a release date for preview builds of the gaming improvements for Windows 10. However, starting this week, those participating in the Windows Insider program will get a chance to try some of Microsoft's latest additions to their gaming infrastructure.
Part of the new gaming updates to Windows 10 is automatic fine-tuning to speed up both Windows 32 games and recent titles running under Universal Windows Platform. All tweaks should be automatic, so you don't have to worry about changing settings between games. Microsoft has stated that they'll reveal more about the fine-tuning process soon.
These Windows 10 Creators Update gaming improvements are only part of the upgrades coming to Windows and Xbox soon. Integrated Beam livestreaming will become active on both platforms, and Xbox One will be getting an enhanced Guide that will allow for faster access to music and game recording controls. The new guide will also feature an Achievement tracker overlay, a Gamerscore leaderboard, and a new design for Cortana.
We should get a chance to see more of what Microsoft has in store for its PC and Xbox gaming platforms when the Windows 10 Creators Update release sometime this Spring.
