Last week Google he announced for ChromeOS support for Steam (so far in Alpha version), the most popular game distribution platform for PC. Now it seems that he is working on another feature designed for gamers.
About Chromebooks has discovered that the ChromeOS 101 developer beta brings support for Adaptive Sync output. The function is hidden behind a so-called flag and can be activated manually. Apparently it's only for external monitors and screens, not Chromebooks' own displays.

Variable refresh rate (VRR) has been supported by Macs and PCs for years. The feature allows you to change the refresh rate of the monitor to match the frame rate offered by the computer, so that the image does not tear. This is extremely useful when gaming, as frame rates can vary depending on hardware, game and scene. The function is also supported by new generation consoles (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X).

However, VRR support won't be very useful for Chromebooks unless they get more powerful processors and apparently discrete graphics cards as well. We can therefore hope that in the near future we will see (not only from Samsung) more powerful Chromebooks using APU chips (from both AMD and Intel) and graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia.
