Windows 11 not only is it a very nice operating system and a breath of fresh air to the classic Windows interface. It also comes with numerous features that make it different from its predecessor and its novelties in gaming they are good proof of it.
Auto HDR: superior quality for your favorite games
Games will look better than ever in Windows 11 thanks to Auto HDR, an exclusive feature of Windows 11. Thanks to this, games that make use of DirectX 11 or higher will add improvements High Dynamic Range (HDR) when previously they only made use of the Standard Dynamic Range (SDR).
HDR allows compatible games to render a much greater range of brightness and color values, giving the image a greater sense of depth and richness. This feature is now available on Xbox Series X | S and is now coming to Windows 11 as well.
DirectStorage: load speeds on par with Series X | S.
Microsoft has imported another proprietary Xbox Series X | S feature into Windows 11: DirectStorage. Thanks to this feature, computers with suitable drivers and high-performance NVMe SSDs will be able to load compatible games faster than ever.
DirectStorage, which will be exclusive to Windows 11, allows games load content directly to the graphics card without “bogging down” the CPU. The main consequence is that we will be able to experience highly detailed world renderings at high speed without long loading times.
Xbox Game Pass and cloud games
Microsoft wants us to use the Xbox Game PassEither on Windows or on an Xbox. To do this, they do not stop adding valuable content to a subscription that has become essential for all video game lovers. The joint conference with Bethesda was a great blow to the table and titles such as Halo Infinite or Age of Empires IV are yet to come.
The xbox app preinstalled in Windows 11 also brings integration with the Cloud games (xCloud). Never again will it be necessary to have a large CPU and graphics to be able to play your favorite games. All you need is a Windows PC, a compatible controller, and a good internet connection.
