But a Chromium-based design means it can only be so efficient.
Discord is working on a new mode for its social platform that it says might be less resource-intensive. Screenshots of an option called Game Mode began circulating on social media over the weekend. The description shown for the Game Mode toggle states that it will "Reduce Discord's CPU and GPU usage while a game is running." By making the chat platform less resource-intensive, concurrently running software should be able to run more smoothly.
Today, the company confirmed on X that this experimental mode will begin rolling out to its users next week. The brief official announcement about Game Mode added that Discord is "aiming to add more resource-saving features over time."
