游戏模式(Game Mode)的创建旨在帮助提升游戏性能，无论您的计算机的使用年限或硬件配置如何。根据微软(According to Microsoft)的说法，它旨在做两件事：增加您在游戏中获得的每秒帧数(increase the frames per second you get in games)并提供更一致的游戏体验(offer a more consistent gaming experience)。您可以在Microsoft(Microsoft)于 2017 年发布的此演示视频中查看更多信息：
“一致的游戏体验”是什么意思？微软(Microsoft)表示，这是为了避免极度减速和令人沮丧的低帧率。如果您是一名游戏玩家，那么您肯定知道这是怎么一回事：您玩了一款游戏，它可以流畅运行一段时间。然后在你所在的关卡结束时与老板打架，帧率下降，游戏反应迟钝，你输掉了这场战斗，因为你的Windows电脑不能很好地处理事情。这不是一个积极的结局，是吗？

这就是游戏模式(Game Mode)介入并试图从您的Windows计算机中榨取每一点性能的地方。启用后，Windows会优先处理您的游戏的处理器和显卡资源。游戏模式(Game Mode)还可以阻止Windows 更新(Windows Update )安装驱动程序更新或在游戏过程中显示通知。希望(Hopefully)这足以保持帧速率稳定并为您提供更“一致的游戏体验”。游戏模式(Game Mode)并非旨在提高高端硬件的最高帧速率。
游戏模式(Game Mode)对Windows中的游戏玩家有什么作用？

What is Windows Game Mode? What does Game Mode do? -
Game Mode is available to all users of Windows 11 and Windows 10. It aims to make these operating systems the best ever for gamers, smoothing the gameplay experience across all types of computers and devices. It does not matter whether your PC is the most powerful in terms of hardware or if it is an older, slower PC. Game Mode prevents system background activities such as Windows updates or notifications from apps during gameplay, all to offer a more consistent gaming experience. In this guide, we explain what Game Mode is and what it can do for gamers:
What is the Game Mode from Windows?
Game Mode was created to help boost performance in games, regardless of your computer’s age or hardware configuration. According to Microsoft, it was designed to do two things: increase the frames per second you get in games and offer a more consistent gaming experience. You can view more information in this presentation video that Microsoft released back in 2017:
What does “consistent gaming experience” mean? Microsoft says that it is about avoiding extreme slowdowns and frustratingly low framerates. If you are a gamer, you certainly know what this is all about: you play a game, and it runs smoothly for some time. Then comes a fight with the boss at the end of the level you are on, and the framerate drops, the game becomes less responsive, and you lose the fight because your Windows computer could not handle things well. That is not a positive ending, is it?
Playing a game on a Windows 11 computer
That is where Game Mode steps in and tries to squeeze every bit of performance from your Windows computer. When enabled, Windows prioritizes processor and graphics card resources to your game. Game Mode can also stop Windows Update from installing driver updates or showing notifications during gameplay. Hopefully, that might be enough to keep the frame rate stable and provide you with a more “consistent gameplay experience.” Game Mode is not designed to increase the highest framerate on high-end hardware.
What does Game Mode do for gamers in Windows?
Together with the Xbox Game Bar app that’s also part of Windows 11 and Windows 10 by default, Microsoft also offers you additional tools that can make your gaming experience better. Among other things, the Game Mode and the Xbox Game Bar allow you to record your gameplay, access and control things like the sound volume, chat with your friends, monitor your computer’s performance, or play music from Spotify. Windows lets you do all that and more by using the Xbox Game Bar and a set of overlays that you can open directly from your game, without having to switch between your various apps or go to your desktop.

How to make sure that Game Mode is enabled in Windows
Both in Windows 11 and Windows 10, Game Mode is enabled by default. However, if something happened or you’ve changed the Game Mode settings and don’t know how to turn it back on, you can enable Game Mode back from the Settings app. In Windows 11, open Settings (press Win + I on your keyboard), select Gaming on the left sidebar, head to Game Mode on the right and then enable the Game Mode switch.

In Windows 10, launch Settings (Win + I), open the Gaming category, select Game Mode on the left sidebar, and enable the Game Mode switch on the right.

The limitations of Game Mode in Windows
Although Game Mode is an excellent feature for gamers, it has a few limitations. The first is that, even if the Game Mode feature is enabled, some games might not be automatically recognized by Windows. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not provide a public list of games that support Game Mode, so there is no easy way to tell if your favorite game is on that list.
To make sure that Windows uses Game Mode in your favorite game, you can follow these steps. Also, in certain situations, the Xbox Game Bar might fail to start although you are pressing the right key combination on your keyboard, which, by default, is Windows + G. If you stumble upon this issue, try following the steps we described here: Xbox Game Bar is not working. 3 ways to fix it in Windows.
Game Mode on or off? Thoughts on gaming performance improvements
When we tested Game Mode using several video games and different test systems, it has rarely improved gaming performance for us. Its real-life performance is a mixed bag, so you might see tangible improvements only in some games and on a limited number of systems.
To learn more, we’ve made this analysis which can help you get a clearer idea of whether it’s worth using Game Mode or not in Windows: Game Mode in Windows 10: Testing real-life performance in modern games. Furthermore, other websites like PC Gamer, LaptopMag, and PCGamesN found similarly mixed results on using Game Mode in Windows.
Do you enjoy Game Mode, and did it improve your gaming experience?
While, in theory, Game Mode is a useful feature, in practice, it is difficult to say how significant its positive impact is. However, the additional tools that come bundled as part of the Xbox Game Bar are useful. Did you try Game Mode and the other gaming features in Windows?
