Borderless Gaming 1.0 brings major revamp, teases DLSS-like upscaling 'for any game'

Borderless Gaming is one of the well-known gaming-focused utilities available on Steam. It mainly forces games to run in borderless full-screen mode, offering the flexibility to easily switch from the game and multitask at ease. The software, however, hasn't been seeing frequent updates, but it seems that the developers have finally picked up the pace. Version 1.0 has just launched, and the devs are promising more feature-packed updates soon.

In version 1.0, the developers have made a handful of changes, including a redesigned UI, making the tool look more modern. Most importantly, Borderless Gaming now has a new engine, which is said to be written from scratch to ensure better compatibility with games.

To be specific, the developers are claiming that Borderless Gaming can now handle even the "most obscure game" users might throw at it. The latest update has also added app containers, allowing users to run games with custom backgrounds and bringing upscaling support.

Speaking of which, the developers behind the software say that one of the upcoming versions of Borderless Gaming will introduce BGUS. It's said to be an upscaling algorithm that can offer DLSS-like upscaling on any game. The devs also note that there will be BGFG with future updates, which is a frame generation tech. With these, the tool might stand as a direct competitor to Lossless Scaling, another third-party app.

Getting back to version 1.0, Borderless Gaming now has profiles, allowing users to apply a per-game preset. It will help to get better control over the window size, easily mute sounds, and lock the cursor to the window. The new engine is also said to use fewer resources, and the update allows the app to run offline. You can learn more from the detailed patch notes available on Steam.
