Xbox App Will Notify Users if Their PC Can Run a Game

gamerant.com:

A complaint a lot of PC gamers have made in the last few years is the fact that, where once there was just Steam for them to run games from, now there are multiple launchers they need to download in order to play their favorite titles. From the Epic Games Launcher to Battle.net to the Xbox App, a PC gamer will need to open a fair few different applications to access their full library. While some of these launchers, such as the Bethesda Launcher, are no longer around, others are consistently getting updates to prove they are worth keeping as a desktop icon.

The Xbox App is one such launcher that many gamers are quite happy to have installed on their machine. One of the major reasons the Xbox App is popular is that it gives instant access to Xbox Game Pass, the popular subscription service. Moreover, there have been multiple new features brought to the app that aim to give PC players a smoother experience. Modding was brought to the Xbox PC App in March of this year, and now an interesting new feature may prevent frustration among PC gamers.

The new feature being rolled out by Xbox is called the Game Performance Fit Indicator and will inform gamers if their PC can likely run a game before they download it. Essentially, this means that players will be able to tell whether a game will run well on their rig without having to go through the arduous process of downloading it and testing out the settings, only to find that it was never going to run well anyway. The feature gathers performance data from people with PCs similar to a given user's and lets them know whether their own machine is likely to handle the game's requirements well.
