Discord is reportedly working on a new Game Mode designed to reduce how many PC resources the app uses while you’re playing.
The upcoming feature was spotted by Discord Previews on X, which shared a screenshot of a new toggle currently being developed for the desktop app.
Once enabled, Game Mode will automatically detect when a game is running and cut back on some of Discord’s visual features. This includes reducing animations and disabling effects that would otherwise use CPU and GPU resources.
The setting itself is labelled “Enable Game Mode,” with Discord’s description reading: “Reduce Discord’s CPU and GPU usage while a game is running.”
This should leave more of your PC’s resources available for the game you’re playing rather than having Discord consume them in the background.
That’s potentially useful for anyone running games on older or lower-end hardware, where having multiple applications open can put additional strain on your rig. It could also make Discord a little less demanding without requiring players to manually switch off individual features before launching a game.

However, it’s important to note that Game Mode hasn’t been officially announced for a full release yet.
