Intel plans to continue adding new games to optimize.Do you plan on still maintaining the Gameplay.intel.com website in the future?
Yes!I scanned my computer and it’s not showing all the games I have installed. Why?
The Intel Graphics Command Center tries its best to locate these games at its usual installation locations. But some games can’t be detected due because they have a separate launcher (for example, Steam*, Epic* and others). The Intel Graphics Command Center can still detect some games in the launcher but not all. We're adding discoverable games to our catalog regularly. There are also times when a game gets updated and some configuration in games has changed so it becomes undetectable with our existing parameters. This will require an update to the Intel Graphics Command Center which will again make this game detectable. However, you can always add games manually via “+” button (Add Games).Can I use the Intel® Graphics Command Center to submit a support ticket to Intel Customer Support?
