UWP has been loved and hated .. well hated mostly. After fierce criticism Microsoft updated their blog, promising unlocked frame rate, and adding Gsync & Freesync support to UWP staring today.

Apparently new update for Win 10 today that will allow unlocked framerate, Gsync and Freesync for Universal Windows Platform games.

We’re listening – and acting



As a direct response to your feedback, we’re excited to announce the release today of new updates to Windows 10 that make gaming even better for game developers and gamers. Later today, Windows 10 will be updated with two key new features:



Support for AMD’s FreesyncTM and NVIDIA’s G-SYNC™ in Universal Windows Platform games and apps

Unlocked frame rate for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) games and apps



Once applications take advantage of these new features, you will be able to play your UWP games with unlocked frame rates. We expect Gears of War: UE and Forza Motorsport 6: Apex to lead the way by adding this support in the very near future.



This OS update will be gradually rolled out to all machines, but you can download it directly here later today. These updates to UWP join the already great support for unlocked frame rate and AMD and NVIDIA’s technologies in Windows 10 for classic Windows (Win32) apps.



Please keep the feedback coming!
