Windows 10 Creators Update Featuring Game Mode Now Available

Windows 10 Creators Update is now available, as Microsoft announced, featuring Game Mode, which includes a built-in game streaming platform named Beam. Microsoft claims that the new Game Mode works at it’s best when your PC is struggling to run your game along with some other program due to lack of resources. Game mode will manage your available resources and will optimise your system for a better gaming experience. On top of that, broadcasting your gaming has never been easier, as all you have to do is hold down your Windows key, press the G key and the Game bar will come up. Then click on the broadcast icon in order to launch Beam.

“To enable Game Mode, pull up the Game bar (Windows key + G) and click on the Settings button. There you’ll be able to opt the running game into using Game Mode. And the Creators Update is just the first milestone in our commitment to Game Mode and Windows 10 performance improvements for PC gaming.”

As it has been stated, Win32 but also UWP games are supported by Game Mode, and over 80 of the most favourite titles support the Game bar in full-screen mode.

“This gives everyone the opportunity to show their creativity as a game broadcaster. And it gets better. Thanks to Beam’s low latency technology, Beam streams have less than a second of delay, enabling streamers to engage and interact with their viewers in near real-time. What’s more, Beam enables streamers to incorporate interactive features such as animation and sound triggers right into their stream. The ability to manage your Beam broadcast and interact with fellow gamers on chat will appear as overlays.”

Hopefully, this will encourage more and more gamers to stream their sessions thus providing the gaming community with more original content.
