The Windows 11 2022 update is now available, offering a handful of new features for PC gamers. The biggest addition is the new Taskbar update for the Xbox Game Bar, along with new options for optimization and HDR calibration for windowed game modes.
The taskbar is a new update feature that makes the Xbox Game Bar more controller-friendly and provides easy access to recently played games or launchers. You can access the new menu by pressing the Xbox button on the controller.
The update also offers some graphical improvements for players. Windowed games running DirectX 10 and 11 will benefit from a feature that was previously only available in full screen, featuring "significantly improved display latency, Auto HDR, and variable refresh rate (VRR).
Gamers with HDR-capable displays will be able to get more out of their technology with a new HDR Calibration app designed to “improve the color accuracy and consistency” of HDR displays.
While these are the biggest changes in the new update, Xbox also hints at a number of minor improvements to gaming features like Auto HDR support, DirectX12 Ultimate enhancements, and broader support for DirectStorage.
