GW2 caps out on 3 cores, so unless you’re running dual core or your computer is bloated with background processes, I wouldn’t expect anything. It’ll likely just put other processes to sleep while disabling certain OS tasks.
Kind of what I was thinking
Perhaps those with lower end computers will be affected

Honestly, the game mode is mostly two things: some enhancements to the “game” bar which does recording and screenshots, and marketing.
It’s highly unlikely to make any real difference in performance to more or less anything, even on relatively low end and thermally constrained systems like gaming laptops or Intel built-in graphics.
It sounds like it keeps Win 10 from starting up it’s own housekeeping services if the GPU is highly engaged even though the CPU and HD isn’t.
RIP City of Heroes
Probably just a marketing stunt.
Let’s see if they release it in the slow ring tomorrow, I will test it extensively.

Probably just a marketing stunt.
Reading that article kind of justified my gut feeling about it. Hopefully they will attempt to improve it and hopefully it will make a difference in GW2.

It is pretty much impossible to do anything that will make a significant difference, as there are relatively few huge performance-killing things between the application and the hardware.
The most recent one was the DirectX 12 and other bare-metal multi-core-friendly GPU interfaces, but those allow the developers to rework the engines to improve stuff, not anything the “kernel” could do alone.
So, yeah, game mode, not really gonna be a thing.
