Microsoft's Windows on Arm Platform Advances in Gaming
On June 20, TapTechNews reported that Microsoft released a press release on June 18, detailing the latest achievements of the Windows on Arm platform in the gaming field, and stating that it would call on the performance of the CPU, GPU, and NPU in Copilot+PC to expand the Arm gaming ecosystem.
Prism compatible layer can run most x86 or x64 games
Microsoft first introduced the advantages of using Prism simulation, stating that on Arm Windows 11 devices, without additional work by developers, Prism can convert x86 or x64 code into the Arm64 instruction set.
Given that many of today's games are x86 or x64, Prism can unlock a large number of games that are simulated and run on Arm.
Microsoft also released a video of running the game Baldur's Gate 3 with the help of Prism on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor, and TapTechNews attaches the video below:

Microsoft stated that Windows 11 24H2 for Arm supports anti-piracy solutions such as Denuvo, Welbia, and BattlEye, with particular mention of the support for BattleEye anti-piracy.
Microsoft said Windows on Arm now supports anti-piracy encryption solutions such as BattlEye, Denuvo Anti-Cheat, and Wellbia XIGNCODE3/UNCHEATER, meaning players can safely and fairly enjoy their favorite games on Copilot+PC.
One of the leading anti-cheat solutions in the game industry, BattlEye, has expanded its support to Arm. With BattlEye's support for Arm, many popular games that specifically use BattlEye can now be fully compatible with Arm-based devices.
The Windows 11 24H2 update (version 26100.863) already supports BattlEye.
