Intel Arc Control is included as part of the Intel driver package for setting the driver settings globally and on an individual game basis. It also includes broadcasting features, livestreaming studio, monitors performance, and updates drivers. Although largely for Intel's dedicated GPU line, it also works with Intel UHD Graphics.

It is a similar concept to Nvidia's Control Panel.
