Next Level Labs

Next Level Labs is a free Windows app that tracks PC and in-game performance in real time, benchmarks players against others, and offers an AI engine for personalized gameplay insights.

Next Level Labs is a Windows desktop app for PC gamers who want to know how they and their hardware actually perform during real matches, rather than in synthetic tests. It records game, system and component performance as play happens, then presents the numbers so a player can see where a session is going well or badly. The core idea is comparison. The app measures current performance against the player's own 90-day average and against the averages of other people playing the same game. That turns raw frame and hardware readings into something closer to a benchmark of the player, not just the machine. An in-game overlay shows chosen stats while a match is running, and hotkeys display or hide it so it stays out of the way when not needed. Coverage has two tiers. Every game gets PC performance stats and basic game stats. A shorter list gets advanced in-game analytics: Fortnite, League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2, Marvel Rivals, Rocket League, Dota 2, Apex Legends, Overwatch and Valorant. The site says more titles are planned, and notes that the current insider build includes all features but may show limited competitive benchmark data at first. An AI engine sits on top of the data. It combines the company's own analytics with large language models to produce suggestions tied to a player's real gameplay and system readings. Users can pick from suggested questions or type their own, which makes it closer to a coaching chat than a static report. The tool suits competitive players of the supported titles, and hardware-minded users who want long-term performance trends. It differs from generic benchmarking suites and monitoring overlays by adding per-game comparison against other players and conversational analysis. Because it is a downloadable Windows installer, it is not aimed at console or mobile players, and its value depends on how many games gain advanced support.
