Microsoft’s Xbox Game Bar can
show you how well – or in my case,
how poorly – a game is running

But there’s still work to be done to establish a uniform
Your Phone experience for everyone.

Monitoring your gaming with Windows 10
Xbox Game Bar / GPU temps
I prefer a clean, uncluttered window when I game,
so I usually don’t turn on Windows’ Xbox Game Bar
(using the Win+G shortcut) for more than few seconds.
An update that’s rolling out as part of the 20H1/
update, though, may compel you to think differently:
a frame-rate indicator. (A second, related Xbox
Achievement overlay is also part of the 20H1 release.)
