gaming mode

Console performance profile

Gaming mode is a device setting that optimizes performance for video games, typically by reducing input lag, disabling notifications, or prioritizing processing power.

On TVs, gaming mode minimizes display latency.

On phones and computers, it silences interruptions and allocates resources to the game: I always switch to gaming mode before playing online.
