Avast game mode is a unique feature that disables specific aspects of the antivirus software to free up system resources and improve performance while you are playing games. It automatically detects the games you play and optimizes their performance to ensure they get the best performance. It also supports customization so that you can add particular games to its whitelist, ensuring they always have the right resources.
The game mode optimizes PC settings and disables background processes, mutes notifications from Avast, Windows, and stops Windows Updates to let you play without interruption. It also prioritizes CPU resources and maximizes them to give you the best gaming experience.
Avast Game Mode, unlike traditional antivirus software, was created specifically for gamers and provides gamers with a more enjoyable gaming experience.

You can access it by going to User Interface > Settings and selecting “Components”. Then you can select or uncheck the box next ‘Game Mode.
