AMD Drop Support for Gaming Evolved App by Raptr

It looks like time is up for the AMD Gaming Evolved App, Raptr. With Nvidia rocking their GeForce Experience software, AMD obviously needed something of their own, but it just hasn’t taken off in the same way and most people, myself included, leave Raptr turned off wherever possible.

Raptr will now be dropped from the AMD installer, but for those who use it, it will still work, it’s just no longer supported. The recording features will still be available via Plays.TV, so you won’t be losing that functionality.

WCCFTech reached out to AMD for confirmation after noticing the feature was removed from the AMD Installer:

“Starting September 12th 2016, AMD is no longer bundling the “AMD Gaming Evolved App” by Raptr with builds of Radeon Software. The application will still work. AMD will cease to undertake any compatibility testing, install support or general technical support for this application, nor will it be available through Radeon Software or its installer. Previous builds of Radeon Software that include the “AMD Gaming Evolved App” dated before September 12th 2016 will remain intact and will not be affected.” – AMD

Those still wanting to use the software can do so by downloading it directly from the Raptr site.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
