Xbox One is Microsoft's answer to the console gaming business and it does so well while contending with Sony. Apparently, Windows 10 might be reaping the same benefits with the recently leaked and the so-called "Game Mode."

According to a recent post from Windows Central, a leak discovered by WalkingCat on Twitter points to Microsoft's latest build from including a feature called the "Game Mode." The update is specifically to be released for Windows 10 and if everything is on schedule, the feature will be out for several insiders soon.

The file "gamemode.dll" was discovered and speculations reported at PCMag and other online outlets suggest that it will cut resource hogging processes by stopping all non-game related services. For some crafty and struggling gamers with older machines, this could be similar with ending every possible "tasks" and "services" from the task manager, but without limits.

Windows Central states that its sources claim this same approach to be similar with how Xbox One actually works. Every resource from the machine is allocated to ensure the best performance possible.

Such feature wasn't present with previous builds of the Windows operating system, though there were some exceptions when third party applications are involved. Any similar method has been proved useful, especially with games that demands more than 8 GB of RAM. Windows 10, by itself, is also a power-hungry operating system and it would do games justice by bypassing unwanted processes from running in the background.

On the flip side, some critics find this move to be not very beneficial with Xbox One owners. The console already have dwindling amount of exclusives and this might worsen if the "Game Mode" is really intended to work as a direct alternative to what it is supposed to do.

Nevertheless, "Game Mode" will be very useful and beneficial to millions of PC gamers who aren't ready to fork out thousands of dollars and yet want to get some above decent gaming experience. Laptop users will also find this feature an essential once released.
