Optimize Your PC for Higher FPS and Smoother Gaming
Hone brings supported Windows, GPU, BIOS, and game settings into one app. Review each change, apply what fits your setup, and restore supported changes later.
Windows services, background apps, GPU settings, and game options can all affect performance. Generic tweak lists leave you guessing what applies to your setup, what to change, and how to undo it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Hone optimize?
Hone groups supported Windows, GPU, BIOS, and in-game settings in one app. The recommendations available to you depend on your PC and the selected game.
Can Hone guarantee more FPS or lower latency?
No fixed result applies to every PC. FPS, frame-time consistency, and latency depend on hardware, the game, current settings, drivers, temperatures, background workload, and connection conditions. Hone helps you apply supported performance settings without doing every step by hand.
Can I review or undo changes?
You choose which supported optimizations to apply. Hone can restore supported changes; for registry optimizations, it backs up the original values before applying them.
Is Hone safe to download and use?
Download Hone only from the official Hone download page or its Epic Games Store listing. The web installer is delivered through Overwolf. In Hone, review each supported optimization before applying it and use restore for supported changes.
Is Hone free?
Yes. The Free plan includes 10 optimizations. Each referral adds one, up to 15 total. Premium removes the optimization limit and adds Premium-only optimizations, presets, Boost-Ups, no ads, and priority support. Compare Free and Premium.
