Some info leaked onto the web, Dell and Fitbit have reportedly shared the release dates for the Windows 10 Redstone 2 Creators Update. The update would be available in April 2017 and brings the aforementioned gaming improvements, better DPI support, and more.



Apparently Dell and Fitbit both posted the update news on their forums. Dell made the announcement then quickly revoked the news that the update would be happening in March. 

Fitbit posted this: “We're excited to announce that Fitbit will be introducing support for tracker notifications (Call, SMS, Calendar and third party apps) and Connected GPS for all Windows users on the Windows 10 Creators Update coming in April."

With the update Microsoft will be implementing a specific game-mode into Windows 10 to offer better performance. The game-mode is planned for a public release with the creators update that will be issued later this year. 

Microsoft:

Increased performance in gaming
Our goal is to make Windows 10 the best Windows ever for gaming. With the Creators Update, we’re introducing a new feature called Game Mode. Windows Insiders will start seeing some of the visual elements for Game Mode this week, with the feature being fully operational in builds shortly thereafter. Our vision is for Game Mode to optimize your Windows 10 PC for increased performance in gaming. This is a big update for Windows; we’re looking forward to Insiders getting their hands on this new feature for further testing, and we’ll have much more to share on what it is and how it works soon, so stayed tuned.

In addition, every Xbox One will see an update coming to the Guide that will make it faster to complete common tasks. Through one press of the Xbox button on your controller, you’ll be able to pull up the newly enhanced Guide as an overlay on the left side of your screen no matter what you’re doing. In addition, we’re rebuilding the most popular multitasking experiences for speed and ease of access. For example, you’ll be able to start recording your GameDVR clips, adjust your recording length, and access your captures directly in the Guide. We’ll also add a new Achievement tracking overlay, Gamerscore Leaderboard, a new Cortana design, and controls for background music, making these features easier to use.
