# XGameRuntimeIsFeatureAvailable

Indicates whether a Gaming Runtime feature is available.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
bool XGameRuntimeIsFeatureAvailable(  
         XGameRuntimeFeature feature  
)  
```

### Parameters

*feature*   \
Type: [XGameRuntimeFeature](/reference/system/xgameruntimefeature/enums/xgameruntimefeature)

The Gaming Runtime feature to query.

### Return value

Type: bool

Returns **true** if the Gaming Runtime feature is available; **false** otherwise.

## Remarks

After the Gaming Runtime is initialized with [XGameRuntimeInitialize](/reference/system/xgameruntimeinit/functions/xgameruntimeinitialize), use this function to check whether specific Gaming Runtime features are available to your game.

The following example uses the **XGameRuntimeIsFeatureAvailable** function to check whether the Async, AsyncProvider, and TaskQueue features are available. All three features are necessary for using task queues to run asynchronous tasks.

```cpp theme={null}
// Confirm that all of the features needed to run asynchronous tasks on 
// task queues are available.
bool Game::CheckAsyncTaskQueueFeatures()
{
    
    return (XGameRuntimeIsFeatureAvailable(XGameRuntimeFeature::XTaskQueue) &&
        XGameRuntimeIsFeatureAvailable(XGameRuntimeFeature::XAsyncProvider) &&
        XGameRuntimeIsFeatureAvailable(XGameRuntimeFeature::XAsync));

}
```

## Requirements
