Microsoft often tries to offer new features for video games in its OS. And it could well be that the next version of Windows 11 offers some nice things.
The different versions of Windows have always tried to do their bit to improve the PC gaming experience. And it could well be that the next Windows 11 update is a fundamental step that changes a lot of things, especially when it comes to optimization, a point that is always very sensitive for many configurations. A major step?
Windows 11 is soon offering an update for gaming
Microsoft is developing a new feature based on artificial intelligence intended to improve the performance of video games on PCs under Windows 11. This innovation, revealed thanks to a recently discovered test version of Windows 11, aims to optimize quality image and refresh rates, in an approach similar to that of Nvidia’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) function for GeForce RTX graphics cards. The information comes from journalist Tom Warren, from The Verge.
The feature in question aims to reduce latency and optimize windowed mode gaming, applying AI-based super resolution for supported titles. This advancement represents a significant step for Microsoft, which has already integrated features like DirectStorage and Auto HDR into Windows 11, to give PC gamers the best possible experience, provided they have compatible hardware.
Other developments on the way?
At the same time, Microsoft is also working on improving color management in Windows 11, allowing users to fine-tune their color settings and save custom profiles. This feature is particularly beneficial for gamers using HDR monitors, giving them the ability to achieve the most color-accurate image possible. Improved color management will support different color spaces, such as sRGB and DCI-P3, extending the benefits to a variety of monitors.
Although the release date of this Windows 11 update remains unknown, the presence of this feature in the test versions indicates that Microsoft could roll it out in the coming months. This initiative highlights Microsoft’s commitment to continuing to improve gaming performance on Windows 11, with the goal of further perfecting the user experience through continued optimizations and the gradual replacement of older Windows features.
