WWDC 2023: MacOS Gets New Gaming Mode, Death Stranding Coming This Year

Is the Mac a gaming machine now?

Apple’s WWDC keynote address on Monday put a spotlight on video games with a new gaming mode and a special guest.

Game mode is a feature coming to MacOS 14 Sonoma, the latest operating system for the company’s desktops and MacBooks. The new mode prioritizes using CPU and GPU cycles while gaming and lowers controller and speaker latency by doubling the Bluetooth sampling rate. There will also be a new toolkit for developers allowing them to more easily port over their games to Mac.
