There’s never been a better time to game on Mac – and not just because of the incredible power of Apple silicon. With Game Mode in macOS Sonoma, playing the latest titles is a richer, more immersive experience.
On Mac with Apple silicon, Game Mode provides smoother gameplay and more consistent frame rates by ensuring games get the highest CPU and GPU priority, while lowering usage for background tasks. Game Mode also gives game controllers and AirPods better responsiveness by dramatically reducing latency.
Pro tip: Configure a Gaming Focus to turn on automatically whenever you connect a game controller – no more distractions when you’re about to beat your high score!
