PC Game Booster
PC Game Booster is Windows software for adjusting a PC’s resources and settings for gaming. Its game manager imports titles from Microsoft Store, Battle.net, Steam, Epic Games, Ubisoft Connect, and other platforms; games that do not appear can be added manually. The software can allocate CPU, memory, and disk resources to active games and applications while restricting unnecessary background processes. Its System Optimizer tunes system, internet, application, and visual-effect settings to reduce lag and interruptions. A hardware monitor tracks CPU, GPU, motherboard, and other component temperatures and alerts users when temperatures exceed optimal levels. The software does not overclock hardware, and its optimizations can be reversed by turning off Game Mode or restarting Windows. The free plan includes basic game optimizations, game management, monitoring, and automatic boosting on launch. PC Game Booster Pro costs $18.95 a year, and a 30-day trial is available. It requires Windows 8.1, 10, or 11 and.NET Framework 4.8 or later.
