IObit has launched IObit Game Assistant 3, a major update for its simple game launcher/ monitor/ manager.

The program automatically recognises more than 4,000 games, and its launcher can now – at last – organise them into categories. As before, you’re free to add local or web-based games as required.

A new one-click “Boost” feature automatically closes whatever processes you define when a game is launched.

Your games can now be organised into categories (tabs)

Smarter hardware monitoring brings more accurate temperature detection, and the ability to customise where your details are displayed in-game (if at all).

The program now automatically minimises to the system tray when it’s closed, although this can be turned off in settings if you prefer.

There’s still a built-in screengrab tool for recording your gaming triumphs – or anything else, really – and the program has been repackaged with a brand new interface for greater ease of use.

IObit Game Assistant 3 is available now as a free download for Windows XP and later.
