The Android 12 Game Mode was announced earlier this year, back in July, 2021. We saw a fairly detailed presentation about what the game mode would be like. Now, we have also come to know of the very first games that support this brand new feature.

Besides, there are also three different modes to make use of when gaming. These are Performance, Standard and Battery Saver modes.

The standard mode is your default device mode for gaming whereas, the battery saver allows you to save more battery when gaming.

Mobile gaming is a massive industry in itself right now and the addition of a game mode into Android’s very own framework is a clear example. Till now we had Xiaomi, Realme and all these brand’s offering their proprietary game modes built into their respective UIs. Now, we will soon be seeing our very own Android OS getting its very first Game Mode.
