The Advantages of Game Mode on Apple Devices
WHEN THE GAME MODE IS ACTIVATED, YOUR DEVICE WILL REDUCE BACKGROUND ACTIVITY TO INCREASE FRAME RATES AND IMPROVE RESPONSIVENESS WITH AIRPODS AND GAME CONTROLLERS, ACCORDING TO APPLE SOFTWARE CHIEF CRAIG FEDERIGHI.
APPLE INTRODUCED A SIMILAR GAME MODE TO MACOS LAST YEAR AS PART OF MACOS SONOMA, ALTHOUGH IT REQUIRES A MAC WITH APPLE SILICON.
What Does Game Mode Do?
GAME MODE ON YOUR APPLE DEVICE ENSURES MINIMAL BACKGROUND ACTIVITY TO ENSURE THE BEST FRAME RATES WHILE PLAYING, RESULTING IN IMPROVED RESPONSIVENESS WHEN USING AIRPODS AND GAME CONTROLLERS.
THIS FEATURE WAS ALSO INTRODUCED IN MACOS SONOMA, BUT ONLY WORKS ON MACS EQUIPPED WITH APPLE SILICON.
How to Activate Game Mode?
TO ENABLE GAME MODE ON YOUR APPLE DEVICE, SIMPLY ACCESS THE SETTINGS AND LOOK FOR THE GAME MODE OPTION. TURN IT ON TO EXPERIENCE ENHANCED PERFORMANCE WHILE GAMING.
IF YOU’RE USING A MAC WITH APPLE SILICON, YOU CAN ALSO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FEATURE IN THE MACOS SONOMA UPDATE.
