Microsoft often tries to offer new features for video games in its operating system. 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 part to improve the PC gaming experience. And it could well be that the next Windows 11 update is a fundamental step that changes many things, especially when it comes to optimization, a point that is always very sensitive in many configurations. A big step?
Windows 11 will soon offer an update for gaming
Microsoft is developing a new feature based on artificial intelligence that aims to improve the performance of video games on PCs running Windows 11. This innovation, revealed thanks to a recently discovered test version of Windows 11, aims to optimize image quality and refresh rates in an approach similar to that of Nvidia’s DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) feature for GeForce RTX graphics cards. The information comes from journalist Tom Warren of The Verge.
The feature in question aims to reduce latency and optimize gaming in windowed mode by applying AI-based super resolution to 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 as long as they have compatible hardware.
More developments on the way?
At the same time, Microsoft is also working on improving color management in Windows 11, allowing users to optimize their color settings and save custom profiles. This feature is particularly beneficial for gamers who use HDR monitors as it allows them to achieve the most color-accurate image possible. Improved color management supports various color spaces such as sRGB and DCI-P3, extending the benefits to a wide range of monitors.
Although the release date of this Windows 11 update is still unknown, the presence of this feature in the testing versions suggests that Microsoft could introduce it in the coming months. This initiative underscores Microsoft’s commitment to further improve gaming performance on Windows 11, with the goal of further perfecting the user experience through continuous optimizations and the gradual replacement of older Windows features.
