A built-in widget in EdgeOS, the desktop widget app for Windows 10 and 11. Put it on any monitor or on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE, at any size, next to your other widgets. It's part of EdgeOS Premium, a one-time $19.99 upgrade.

Common questions
- Is the EdgeOS Game mode widget free?
- No, Game mode is a Premium widget. EdgeOS itself is free; Premium is an optional one-time upgrade of $19.99, with no subscription, that adds Game mode and the other Premium widgets.
- Do I need a XENEON EDGE to use the Game mode widget?
- No. EdgeOS runs on any monitor on Windows 10 or 11, and on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE in Desktop Mode or, inside iCUE, in Widget Mode.
- What can I change on the Game mode widget?
- 8 options, such as graph length, target line, line colour and temperatures. They're grouped as graph and readout. Every widget also takes your own font, text size and look.
- Can I move or hide parts of the Game mode widget?
- Yes. Its parts (game icon, game name, time played, fps, average and 1% low, frame-time graph, cpu, gpu, memory and messages) can each be resized, restyled or hidden under Customize → Layout.
