Microsoft have announced the roll out of a new build of Windows 10 for PCs, available to Insiders on the Fast Ring.
There are a whole load of new features relating to gaming and XBox, to name a few:
Built-in Beam streaming: Beam is the easiest and quickest way to stream gameplay, and itโs part of Insider Preview builds starting today for both your Windows 10 PC and Xbox One. After updating to this build, you can start Beam broadcasts by pulling up the Game bar โ Windows + G.
New Games section in Settings: A new settings page has been added to Windows 10โs Settings app specifically for gaming: Gaming. This new section will be identifiable with the Xbox logo. Weโre also beginning to consolidate some system and user settings for gaming in this unified location, where PC users are accustomed to accessing their settings. Starting today, youโll find settings for Game bar, GameDVR, Game Mode, and broadcasting and streaming in this new Gaming area. Not all elements of this section will be visible in todayโs Windows Insider build, but weโll continue to develop and deploy Gaming settings over time.

Game Mode: With Game Mode, itโs our goal to make Windows 10 the best Windows ever for gaming. Our vision is that Game Mode optimizes your Windows 10 PC for an improvement in game performance. To enable Game Mode, go to Settings > Gaming > Game Mode toggle the feature on. Doing this will give you the ability to enable the feature for each UWP and Win32 title you play by pulling up the Game bar (Windows + G) and the clicking the Settings button. There youโll be able to opt individual games into using Game Mode. (See below for an known issue regarding Game Mode in this build.)
Aside from gaming there is also some updates elsewhere:
Microsoft Edge and emoji: Microsoft Edge will now display full-color, updated emoji by default on websites that use emoji.
There is so much new stuff with this update that we can not list it all here, check out Microsoft’s Feedback Hub announcement HERE.
