For a list of games, see games with borderless fullscreen windowed support.


Borderless fullscreen windowed refers to a mode where the game presents the rendered image in a maximized window without borders making it cover the whole monitor. This is opposed to a regular window that uses window decorations around the contents of the window, or fullscreen exclusive mode where the game takes control over the output device and where each application switch required a display mode switch to occur.

This feature is known by a lot of different names between games, such as borderless mode, maximized window, fullscreen window, or any combination thereof. Some titles might also refer to it using less common names, such as scaling or even fullscreen if the game does not support exclusive fullscreen mode.

Key points

Borderless fullscreen windowed offers similar benefits as normal windowed mode, but with a fullscreen-like appearance.
Native feature in many modern titles, and can often be forced in the majority of older titles.
Can sometimes be used to enable wider or higher resolutions via resizing the game's viewport.[1][2]
Seamless task switching with no risk of crashes or freezes with a minor loss in performance.
Eliminates screen tearing on Windows (only on Vista and later) due to Vertical sync (Vsync) being applied for all windows by the Desktop Window Manager (DWM)..[3]
..but will subsequently cause additional input lag as well, due to the aforementioned vertical sync. It is possible to disable the vertical sync, however it requires either disabling DWM (only possible on Vista/7) or by using a certain presentation mode and flag.[4]

Another tip that exclusively works on Linux is running your game in a separate X server instance. This allows you to switch between your game and your desktop using Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F8 (buttons may differ, may be F1 through F12) and it increases performance and stability. To do this, edit the launch options for your game on Steam as follows:

Run Game in New X Server

Notes

Manually launch a Non-Steam game by replacing %command% with the path to the game executable. Some games, including Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor may run into glitches using this method (as verified by Feral Interactive)

Windows troubleshooting[edit]

Game crashes on startup[edit]

Certain borderless applications have to be started before the game itself and not while the game is running.

Window constantly resizes itself[edit]

After applying the borderless mode simply restart the game itself, while keeping the borderless application open.

Skip the time consuming Alt-Tabs and enjoy playing your favorite games in a continuous window without any borders thanks to this utility

Borderless Gaming is a tiny, but useful tool that enables you to play your favorite video games that are available in windowed mode only in fullscreen.

It optimizes games to be streamed at any resolution

First off, it is worth mentioning that for the app to work, you need to make sure that the game or application you are running is in windowed mode. Moreover, in case the application you need to run in fullscreen does not have graphic settings and has no reasonable option in this sense, then you can consider posting about it in the Steam community forum to get some help.

The idea behind the tool is to lend you a hand with running the app in fullscreen and streaming at any desired resolution, regardless if the function exists or not. The highlight stems from the fact that it does so without you having to worry about alt-tabbing to look for a tutorial in the browser or change your music, for instance. Most importantly, it prevents crashes that commonly result from switching between various apps.

Designed to work smoothly with multiple monitors

Functionality-wise, the tool is as simple to use as it looks. Therefore, once you enable the windowed mode in-game or inside the app, you open the program and it takes care of the rest. The idea behind the app is to remove the load time for switching between games and apps in a safe manner that does not affect the functionality of what you are accessing in any way.

While it works great with one monitor, its real power is unleashed when you use multiple monitors. Not only does it detects all active windows running on your system, but you can switch back to windowed mode with just one click. In addition, some users stated that the tool also allows you to select the monitor the game is played on without you having to change the primary display.

A reliable app for launching apps in fullscreen without any side effects

All things considered, Borderless Gaming is a utility designed to help you make the most out of your fullscreen gaming mode, but without having to worry about crashes and other negative effects associated with Alt+Tab.
