    Windows 11

    Play the latest games with graphics that rival reality. Play with players on console on your PC. Play with the peripherals that you love. When it comes to playing your way, Windows 11 makes it happen. [1] [2]

    Games will look better than ever thanks to Auto HDR, a unique capability we’re offering with Windows 11 which automatically adds High Dynamic Range (HDR) enhancements to games built on DirectX 11 or higher that previously only leveraged Standard Dynamic Range (SDR). HDR allows a supported game to render a much wider range of brightness values and colors, giving an extra sense of richness and depth to the image.
