Samsung’s Game Booster app, designed to enhance the gaming experience on Galaxy devices, is being upgraded with Game Booster+, currently available only in South Korea as part of the Good Lock app. New features include key remapping for in-game controls with customizable profiles, additional GPU settings like PreTransform for Vulkan games, and texture quality options. Users can also manually classify apps as games to enable Game Booster features for titles not originally labeled as such. An international rollout is anticipated soon.
Some Galaxy devices come equipped with a Game Booster app designed to enhance your gaming experience by offering neat features, and Samsung is currently working on enhancing the app with even more options. However, there’s a caveat.
The newly launched Game Booster+ is presently exclusive to South Korea and can be accessed as a module within the Good Lock app. We anticipate that Game Booster+ will soon be accessible to users outside of Korea.
New Game Booster+ features
In any case, Game Booster+ introduces features like key remapping, enhanced GPU settings, and the ability to manually categorize apps as games.
The key remapping feature for game controllers allows you to reassign in-game controls to preferred keys, and you even have the option to create different profiles tailored for various games.
The updated GPU settings feature PreTransform and Texture Filter options. PreTransform helps to relieve the GPU during screen rotations in Vulkan games, while the Texture Filter enhances the texture quality in games. You can choose between Default, Performance, or Quality settings.
Finally, Game Booster+ enables you to add apps to a list and classify them as “games.” This is particularly beneficial for certain applications that might not be recognized as games, which can prevent the Game Booster from functioning. By manually adding apps, you can activate those essential Game Booster features.
