Gaming Mode for Mac

With macOS Sonoma, Apple is also introducing a new “gaming mode” to provide a more immersive gaming experience.

As Jeremy Sandmel, Senior Director of GPU Software, said, gaming mode is designed to “give gamers an edge when performance is measured in precious milliseconds.” It prioritizes games over other tasks, reducing input and audio latency with controllers by doubling the Bluetooth sampling rate and increasing responsiveness.

Gaming will work with any game, and Apple is also introducing a new Game Porting Toolkit to make it easier for developers to port over games from other platforms.
