Take Gaming to the Next Level

When you think of gaming on your computer, you probably don’t think about your Mac. And while PC gaming is still far better than Mac gaming, thre are some amazing games you can play on your Mac.

That’s gotten even better in macOS Sonoma, thanks to a new Game Mode that helps take your experience to the next level. This feature reduces any background activity on your Mac, so all your CPU and GPU power is focused on the game you’re playing. 

When Game Mode is turned on, your Mac will also reduce the latency in your AirPods and game controller so you don’t experience any stutter when playing.

The best part is that you don’t have to do anything to enable Game Mode; your Mac will do it immediately after you open a game.

To see what your Mac’s processor is simply go to the Apple menu and click About this Mac. You’ll need an Apple “M-series” chip to use Game
