During WWDC, Apple introduced Game Mode, an exclusive feature for macOS Sonoma aimed at enhancing gaming performance on Macs. When activated, Game Mode prioritizes CPU and GPU power, resulting in improved hardware performance for running games. It brings various benefits such as reduced audio latency when using AirPods, increased compatibility with Xbox and Playstation controllers, and a Game Porting toolkit to simplify the process of porting games from other platforms to macOS.

According to Apple, Game Mode is compatible with any game, including both recent and upcoming Mac titles. The developer beta of macOS Sonoma is currently accessible through the Apple Developer Program, offering developers an early look at the upcoming operating system. Additionally, Apple has announced that a public beta version will be released next month through the Apple Beta Software Program, allowing users to test and provide feedback on macOS Sonoma before its official release. So as a Mac user you can look forward to receiving Game Mode as a free software update in the fall.
