The Game Bar in Windows 10 remains fleshed by helping cover their new bits of functionality, and the latest introduction is really a way for folks to simply find other likeminded PC gamers they are able to enjoy multiplayer titles with internet.

The Game Bar is a compact overlay which provides easy access to a selection of features which now includes the aforementioned Looking for Group (commonly abbreviated to LFG) option, although it's still in beta at this time.

Which means only Game Bar testers can access it, and you can expect bugs since this is an earlier version: as Windows Central reports, for starters, a button scroll wheel doesn't operate in the LFG tab.

Doubtless there will be other teething issues, and indeed the range of games supported is rather slim right now, but we can expect so that it is considerably bolstered by the time this selection hits the discharge version of the Game Bar.

Numerous big-name titles are already supported, though, including Fortnite, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Destiny 2, League of Legends, and of course the kind of Minecraft and Sea of Thieves from Microsoft.

Power of parameters

The power within the LFG feature is based on being able to specify custom parameters for the kind of game you'd prefer to get involved in, so for instance, you are able to specify that 'trash talking' is fair game, or you might make a game session specifically for beginners in which you're willing to help newbies get a handle on things.

It's also possible to specify how many players you want for any particular session, and a proposed start time as well as other variables. Before anyone joins your group, you are able to talk to them and vet them, either via voice or text.

Obviously, some people might would rather have fun with a normal number of friends online, but people won't always be around, so even in this case, LFG can be a great way to obtain a pick-up group going for a session - particularly given all the parameters you are able to adapt to try to look for likeminded gamers. Not to mention you'll possibly make new friends?-

It's also pretty nifty to be able to obtain a premade party together instead of depend on in-game matchmaking that could land you with toxic teammates. A minimum of by doing this, you are able to vet them first, there are possible advantages too, for example potentially grabbing the experience point bonus for enjoying with friends in Apex Legends, for instance.
