Rumors that Windows 10 could benefit from a Game Mode - which would maximize gaming performance - have been swirling online since December 2016. The capabilities of the proposed mode were not clear - until now.
On Jan. 13, Microsoft's Mike Ybarra, who is Head of Platform Engineering Xbox, spilled the beans on the Game Mode, which would come with the company's Creators Update. The Game Mode will reportedly optimize the PC when a game is running, so that it can perform better.
"With the Creators Update, we're introducing a new feature called Game Mode," shared Mike Ybarra, Head of Platform Engineering Xbox. "Our vision is for Game Mode to optimize your Windows 10 PC for increased performance in gaming."
Ybarra also divulged that some of the "visual elements" of the new Game Mode will be made available to Windows Insiders this week. The feature is expected to become completely operational in the Windows 10 builds soon after.
The Xbox executive promises that the performance of all PC games will see a definite improvement thanks to the Windows 10 Game Mode which will come with the Creators Update this spring.
Game Mode Rumors
This feature will supposedly enable Windows 10 to regulate the GPU and CPU resources so that more power can be allocated to the gameplay vis-à-vis the background apps.
When the mode arrives with the Creators Update, it will basically enable a PC to behave like a home console where resources are diverted from non-gaming processes to games
