Why Are Frames Per Second Important In Video Games

Frames per second, or FPS, gets talked about a lot. But does frame rate matter? Is there a best frame rate? Do you ever ask yourself how frame rate affects gameplay? Watch Gameranx for the answers to these questions and more...

Next consoles should target high framerate instead of fake 4k.

[@Rileykard]

Next consoles should target the creation of new IPs and make good exclusives. If you give a shit about graphics go PC.

[@EK-hn5ls]

Riley Kard exclusives are stupid and divide people

[@Masappo]

Riley Kard i DON'T care about high graphics that's why I want them to target high framerate :)

[@Rileykard]

EK Exclusives are the only reason there's a videogame industry these days. No exclusives, no competition, no competition, no investments in new IPs and new technologies, like VR, motion plus, the switch hybrid style, etc.

[@LimmeLimbo]

Gabriele Mucci Ikr. idk why people give a fuck about graphics so much. I prefer gameplay over graphics any day. So long as the graphics are tolerable, I don't have an issue

[@M-28xD]

instead of making 4k consoles that runs like shit(30FPS) They should make consoles that can run ultra 1080p @ 60fps.

[@aguspoire6707]

Lol consoles can't render games in true 4k, they just upscale the frames. Also, games sometimes run at 720p.

[@caz0141]

Me who cares 300$(console)>1000$(@60fps) anytime

[@cooperm3605]

the way the ps4 pro is made is upscaled 1080p to 4k at 30 fps. Only playstation titles are confirmed for upscaled 4k 30 fps. So all 1080p games will most likely run between 50-60 fps. Same with the Xbox scorpio however, the scorpio runs native 4k (real 4k) and will run from 30-40 fps, and all 1080p games will then be processed to (like the pro) 50-60 fps.

[@Roxor128]

4k is a myth. Only 3.84k is available.

[@notputin3406]

[@leebennett4117]

Graphics are important Certainly more important than frame rates, Dropping Graphical Quality Just to Get few Extra Frame makes all that striving to Create a Believe world a waste of time,It may Give you an Edge so you can Win,To me winning is secondary​ to Being in Believeable World

[@zeroarticulation]

Lee Bennett modern day games are designed to be beautiful at medium to high settings. Ultra is just some barely nicer textures, sharper edges and more objects. So, unless the settings are low, graphics aren't obstructed much

[@themk4982]

Do you not understand opinions? It's not a fact like how your implying, for me if the graphics are as good as something like Skyrim I'm fine, I could go the rest of my life with those graphics, but according to you that's impossible.

You don´t need higher fps in videos. 30 fps or even lower is fine, isn´t it?

[@teme5529]

In first person shooters and some other games that are fast paced require 60+ fps, when being competitive, more than 60. In a video, does not matter. The output is clear anyways.

[@SangoProductions213]

People adapt to higher quality. It's simple as that. Back in the day, 30 fps was acceptable...then again...so was 360p acceptable just a couple years ago.Then you start watching 720p, and you then 360p is no longer acceptable. I an a cheap ass, so I intentionally stay behind the curve on graphics options so that I not only get the most performance possible, but also have that performance come at a cheap cost (ie the hardware for my computer), and it looks good *enough* for me.

[@vladnovetschi]

SangoProductions213 of course it looks good enough for you... but do not tell ppl it is better or even the same.

[@deadwolf1227]

It's on the internet so it must be true.

[@sonicfraisheya4028]

MrBoggy101 fighting games? yeah sure that needs higher than 40 at least. but most other games? i doubt it

[@karpfenaut]

60 fps should become the standard for every game out there, consoles are capable of 60 fps too (last of us remastered, battlefield 1) but instead go graphics over framerate, sad really

[@nath7486]

i think if they went frames over graphics, i think the existing games would look like ass. i would rather have an amazing looking game at acceptable fps, than a shoddy looking game at 60 fps.

[@Mampfie]

Battlefield 1 had around 35-42 and only on small Maps on low pop Servers is went up to 60. Last of Us Remaster also had huge drops in some Areas.

[@magnumstrike1]

[@awntimestwo7995]

I didn't know that the cinema was 24 frames

[@The_Xeos]

five seven G some movies (like The Hobbit) are 48 fps

[@HaohmaruHL]

five seven G movies have motion blur due to how cameras work so it's not that bad. Just take a panning camera scene from any movie and it turns into a smudge until the camera stops. If it was recorded with 60 fps you would have seen every detail in the screen during panning. It's especially important for movies in 3d.

[@Antiganos]

Haohmaru HL That's going to depend on shutter speed, aka how much light is let in for each frame. 120 shutter speed at 24 frames will look choppy and have little blur, (Saving Private Ryan intro) but 58 at 24 will look very close to human eye specs etc.

[@ulrichleukam1068]

I believe they usually do it so save disk space without compression. 20fps will in theory have 1/3 data of a 60fps video

Most people who trivialize 60fps have never played games at 60fps before.

[@w0rldw1dew3b]

It's almost a little sad when people say that 60 FPS doesn't matter. Like, KZbin even supports 60 FPS now, and those same people haven't seen the difference by now?

"It doesn't matter" means "it is not relevant like the way you say it is".

[@chaosdirge4906]

I've played in 60 fps many times. My GTX690 may not be a great card but its still good enough to run things on high settings. I don't have a single problem in the world playing an FPS like Doom on my PC and then playing Destiny on MY PS4 right afterward. A poor carpenter blames the tools. I think its pretty sad that you criple yourselves because you notice such a difference.

[@prod.kidmizu]

Chaosdirge me too, I run games on my pc at 100fps or more or less depending on the game obviously. And I play on my Xbox at 30fps and I'm fine with it.

[@vapenation7061]

2:06 are you kidding me? have you been on a 120/144hz monitor ever? it's like mistaking a horse for a mosquito - you can't.

I was personally amazed when I switched to a 144 hz monitor. Night and day.

[@thomasr8074]

ayy lmao when I turn v sync off, my screen tears loads... why?

[@runethyselius4424]

ayy lmao well maybe you are just imagining it

[@vapenation7061]

+Rune Thyselius yeah sure 144hz is a money scam.. how about you actually try it before telling me that i'm dumb?

[@vapenation7061]

+Tommy Robinson are you on 60hz or 120/144hz? it happens when your framerate is higher than your monitor's refresh rate. freesync really helps with that - it's a game-changer if you are on 144hz and can't get 144fps in all games. even 80fps seems smooth like that.

[@MrBlitzpunk]

when skyrim came out i loved it so much i finished the entire game with less than 30fps with an average about 18 - 24fps while my PC is begging for mercy

[@RatedMforMatt-ure]

as someone who plays on a 144hz monitor I can say definitively that the difference of 90fps and 60fps is drastically noticeable. When you go from 60hz to 144hz or even the 240hz panels its just absurdly noticeable.

[@jethrot.fruits5722]

Haz-Matt even on a 75hz monitor that I used to play on. The difference between 60 and 75 is markedly different.

[@imJGott]

i concur, thats why im shocked as what this falcon cat is talking about.

[@dominicw6584]

Yup 144hz is eye opening

[@Kingcake57]

Haz-Matt your right the difference between 60 and 75 is like night and day when your playing a game, and that is from experience. But I will say that going from 60 to 75 just feels nicer while going from 60 to 120 (or even 90) can or will effect your gameplay.

[@toplegend]

I second that, good sir.

[@TheXenosEffect]

Actually the brain can tell a difference between 60 and 144Hz, The human brain can actually subconsciously perceive up to 1000 frames per second, after a quick search i found this response, and considering there has been real military tests conducted on such things I am inclined to believe the following statement "Although the human eye and brain can interpret up to 1000 frames per second, someone sitting in a chair and actively guessing at how high a framerate is can, on average, interpret up to about 150 frames per second. The point: 60 fps is not a 'waste'"

[@ManiacX1999]

Kasai Brightwater Finally, someone who isn't just saying "I have a 144hz monitor, I can tell" someone with some level of research. Can you send me a link?

[@logotho7340]

1:16 I love the little PC Master Race guy coming in and correcting it to 120 FPS XD

[@lucasskotiniotis1360]

240-260 FPS is where most humans can't differentiate between the frame rate and the speed of light. I personally see a huge difference between 60 and 100Hz, but everyone's different.

[@subjectnamehere3023]

Healthy humans should definitely be able to distinguish 60 and 100hz quite easily.

[@d-pad5291]

Quackstorm Exactly! There is a huge difference between 60hz and 144hz display. 60hz feels really bad with a mouse. 144hz and above is amazing

[@lucasskotiniotis1360]

D-Pad I wouldn't call 60Hz very bad, it's fine IMHO but everyone has their preferences.

[@lucasskotiniotis1360]

Also let me point out that although the difference between 60Hz and 100Hz is very noticeable in my eyes, the difference between that and 240Hz is not nearly as noticeable. Although I understand the everyone has their own personal preferences, saying that there is no difference between 60Hz and 144Hz probably means that you need to have your eyes checked.

[@kiljazink989]

The human brain can process up to 1000fps. But if you're just plopped in front of a TV and asked to guess what the fps is, you'd probably stop being accurate after around 150fps. But if you put, say, 240fps and 600fps games side by side, you would notice the difference.

[@alexandermccabe556]

cause you don't want to be hit with a slide show when your I the middle of a battle

[@ConvexSpade]

5:07 24fps is basically the industry standard because it's the bare minimum framerate before things start to lose fluidity. Lower framerate = less film used = money saved. Most things shot digitally are 30fps these days.

[@indomidable]

Heck most "encoded" videos are 23.97 SD/HD.

[@IDMYM8]

24 fps makes editing much easier and faster. But i think they may edit in higher frame rates so the result is pretty perfect

[@lenk8374]

It's because 24fps is awesome and faster framerates look like soap operas

[@tylocook]

Virtual reality experts seem to think 90hz is the important frame rate to hit.

[@imJGott]

90 or higher. you actually get motion sickness if its under it, well from my own experience i can tell you that.

[@rumfordc]

I think the higher framerate is just to reduce the render lag a bit which is what i think mainly causes the motion sickness. Something could render at 1million fps but if it has a 5 second delay every time ur head moves it will still be heavily disorienting.

[@awesome9174]

Tylo Render lag? Lol. No.

[@water9075]

That's not because of FPS...

[@rumfordc]

Awesome! are you unfamiliar with the term? it is fairly simple and common... i take you've never played a buffered pvp game like on an emulator before? render lag is the offset between the start and end times of a render loop but most people colloquially use it to refer to the interval between their inputs and the perceived visual response from the game. in the case of VR like oculus and vive they have a considerable lag between the moment you turn your head and the time it takes to render the new spot your looking at. happy to help you learn!

[@kensmith2829]

Stopped the video when he said humans can only see 60fps.

[@skaterhaube6026]

Ken Smith He said people can't​ tell the difference when it's above 60fps but the human brain can see at a much higher frame rate. And if you were making a joke then I just got nae nae'd.

[@bananiaman3162]

Duke Dragon the human brain doesn't have eyes. If you can't notice a difference above 60 fps there is something wrong.

[@gonzaminator530]

is this a joke.. I hope..?

[@kensmith2829]

My post?

[@skaterhaube6026]

Bat Orgil Actually the lower the fps the more frames you skip meaning you can be attacked a second after you realise you're being attacked this means you won't be able to block or counter attack.

Our brain will never have the ability to "see" things at the speed of light. The electrical signals in our brain ARE fast but not THAT fast.

[@chrisdodd4014]

I can't play first person games at less than 60fps without either having to take Dramamine or ending up with motion sickness. Right now I'm waiting on a new power supply for my PC so that I can update my 7 year old GPU so that I get better frame rates. As for going beyond 60fps I really can't tell the difference between 60 and 100 too much. Neurologist say that it takes about 0.25 seconds for an impulse to travel down and cause a reaction in your hand, which is why muscle memory and practice is so important to people like gamers and musicians. Something I've said for a while when concerning hardware when the PS4 Pro, and Scorpio started talking about 4K gaming is that they need to get consistent 60fps at 1080P before trying to go up in resolution.

[@nohomobro8933]

wow amazing

[@userunknownxx1]

I just want to know how gamers can sometimes tell what is the framerate for a game....without a program that tells you. I also often confused lag and framerate saying "well they are the same thing since if your internet is slow then your framerate drops."

[@chiyuhuang3642]

1. we get use to it, and know the difference 2. low fps is consistent, but lag is sudden. like you are playing a 60fps, but suddenly it drop to 15fps, and after a sec, it goes back to 60, that is lag

[@aronseptianto8142]

it's relative,if you're used to 60fps,going to 24 will be horrible but if you stay at 24,going to 60fps you won't feel any difference until you go back to 24.same as 144fps to 60fps

[@alecmcgrathofcanada9175]

Cinema standard 24fps is set that way because the motion blur it creates is the most natural looking to the human eye. When things reach 30fps or higher in video, things look unnaturally smooth and fluid. When you wave your hand back and fourth in front of your face, your fingers will blur at a consistency that's virtually the same as a 24fps video. Or if you look straight out of the side window of a highspeed moving vehicle. The trees on the side of the road will blur. They won't be perfectly smooth like a 60 or 90 fps video. That's why it's chosen for film. Because it's the most natural looking. HOWEVER, obviously for video games, the higher frame rate makes sense. Things need to be more fluid for that, as he already explained in the video. But a higher frame rate for film is unnatural, and the only reason we still shoot films at 24fps is because of that reason. Not because it's been a standard like that for so long like you said.

Happy with my 1080ti and 144Hz G-Sync monitor. Shout out to my PC Master Race homies.

[@bosskeystore8694]

If you don't ever drop below 144 fps G-Sync is basically useless...You could get a bit less lag with it off and if you can run games at 300+ fps a bit less time between latest frame rendered and latest frame displayed...Before you call out screen tearing as long as you are around 300 fps it is basically nonexistent, although truthfully I have not experienced any screen tearing after getting a 144hz monitor no matter the frame rate.

[@joewickham2825]

Its a 1440P monitor, and while 50% games hit the 144HZ (or 165 if i set it to that). I do play harder hitting titles, and maxed out games like wildlands, MEA, and such will vary 80-120. Gsync is well worth it.

[@bosskeystore8694]

Ok that makes more sense, at the lower frames Gsync and Freesync make a huge difference. Still if you want to get a bit less by way of input lag on fps games like csgo that run at really high framerates on good hardware you can turn off gsync to lower input lag as Gysnc and Freesync do add quite a bit of input lag. There wont be much in the way of tearing provided you can run around 300-500 fps. I did use freesync for a while when I play harder to run games and it does make a difference.

[@Rez996]

dunno how some people in the comments don't get it. I'll try to dumb it down. If it's a high paced game to begin with you'd want it smooth and responsive so you can enjoy it more. if it's some slow strategy or turn based game or a game not very action focused, the framerate's don't matter as much. sitting there playing a fast paced game that can't hold a solid, stable performance is like driving a Lamborghini that has its engine randomly shut off and turn back on while trying to go full speed down a clear straightway. From a gamer perspective it leads to the gamer being more furstrated with the game for lagging during a crucial moment making them start over a difficult fight or level rather than just being angry at themselves for messing up. It's not fun. I'm just a "gameplay first" kind of person if all a game has to offer is story with mediocre gameplay, I'll just go watch a movie instead. I have no problem turning stuff down in settings just to make sure the game runs well, even if my machine is above its requirements. If developers were actually better about working on performance instead of graphical fluff on console or in general for that matter; so games wouldn't struggle and hardly ever keep stability My PS4 and old 360 would have a larger library right now. I mean seriously, what's the point of locking a game at 30 FPS if it's still going to tank well below that randomly while playing (talking close to slow mo camera here)? o_O

[@amirsharar8547]

At 2:35 the video mentions input lag caused by lower framerate, while showing a game like Forza Horizon 3 that polls for input at 360 times per second. So it isn't input lag caused by the game engine, but our ability to respond to what we see from the game. The correct wording would be that the action on screen at a lower framerate affects the speed of our input, rather than vice versa. Especially with a game like that that polls for user input 4 times faster than 60Hz. Also, most physics systems run at much faster than the framerate. Gran Turismo runs physics at 1000Hz, and that's an extreme example, but many opt to do it at 120Hz or higher.

[@badGamr]

Prior to sound in film, most frame rates for cinema were around 12fps. This frame rate was decided on as it provided the least amount of perceptible flicker for the amount of film used (film was expensive). Once sound was introduced, a minimum of 24fps was required in order to achieve synchronous sound. That is why you have 24fps in movies. Most films today are shot digitally using an Arri Alexa camera whose frame rate is 24fps. Today sound sync does not require 24fps to be achieved - It is used today because it is what audiences are used to. Movies could be shot at 60fps today but the look is so different that filmmakers shy away from it in the event it has a negative effect on the financial performance of a film. 24fps is a known entity. Hollywood is not known for it's enthusiasm for risk taking. Great video Falcon.

[@SnowyRVulpix]

With my old computer, I was used to playing games at roughly 20 frames per second... and they are completely playable like that. My new computer can play them up to 60, which I believe is my refresh rate, and it is a lot better... but honestly, I don't see framerate as being too important. I don't play multiplayer games, and I don't get motion sickness. I can definitely understand the need for higher framerates for multiplayer games though.

[@HappySqrl]

I also think that the lag associated with different frame rates is often over-emphasized compared to other forms of lag. Many televisions and AV receivers can introduce quite a bit of lag compared to hardware that is better for gaming, and unstable wifi can produce latency spikes that dwarf all other latency combined. A bad AV setup could introduce up to 50ms of additional latency, and a bad wifi setup could cause (over) 100ms spikes in latency. In this context, a 16ms latency from 30fps vs 60fps doesn't seem so bad.

[@jens2481]

Uhm... the brain can send electric signals around about 1000 times a second, which means that is the max FPS any human can see at any given time

[@matt4045]

The brain can, sure. But *you,* sitting in front of a screen, wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 500 and 1000. We top out at the 150-200 range.

[@jet100a]

matt4045 I think I heard it might top out around 300 because jet pilots can tell the make and model of a plane at about that speed I think.

[@rumfordc]

+jet100a it is all relative to training. if you spend time watching variable framerates your brain will dedicate more resources to future attempts and you'll find the differences slightly more noticeable. video game players can guess a framerate much better than non-video game players, for obvious experience-based reasons.

the problem I have with this video is I didn't improve on my computer. as you see, us people who have a bad PC we don't have FPS. We have SPF

[@GuySocket]

There's some misinformation here. There's no game that has an input lag of 16 ms at 60 fps on consoles. The lowest input lag last gen at 60 fps was 50ms. This generation, because a lot of games use some form of vsync the input lag is around 100 ms. -16 ms of input lag translates to 1 frame of lag. Which means if there's 100 ms of input lag you'll see about 6 frames pass between when you pressed a button and the action shows on screen. - Personally, having played battlefield and counter-strike on PC with a CRT monitor at 120 FPS, I could still tell the difference in smoothness and control responsiveness even between 90 and 120. For most people, though, a rock solid 60 without vsync, buffering, and a proper aiming mechanic (no smoothing, timed acceleration or massive deadzone) should be fine.

[@chubbysumo2230]

so, a little correction: 35mm film movies, which are mostly phased out in major theaters(in favor of digital) have 24 frames per second, but they display/flash each frame TWICE, which means that they are actually running at 48fps. at a real 24fps, stuff gets a bit jumpy/odd to the human eye, since 24fps to 30fps is where most people's brains start stringing together the images into a single moving image, so to deal with the variance between people, they display each frame twice. Digital movies, and digital projectors run from between 48hz, or true 48 frames per second(with 48 actual frames per second) in 2D, all the way up to 240hz interpolated for 3D. look up how the interpolated 3D works too, its kinda cool. It displays your eyes in RLRBRL, which results in a framerate "feel" of 40fps, which results in most people no longer suffering from motion sickness during 3D, but it is actually displaying 240 "real" frames per second, with 1/6th of those being black to allow your brain to work out the depth perception.

[@Wacko.Zacho97]

Really? You do realize 1000 bucks is a huge jump from 300 to 400. Besides let's be honest, your parents bought you that 1000 dollar computer. Not only that but most people with a brain aren't going to waste hundreds more just for better performance when most console games run just fine. When you're an adult with actual responsibilities you'll understand one day :)

[@GaminGusTav]

ZACH117kitty lmao. A PC at the price for a console (300-400) will outperform the console. If you spend $1000 on a PC, you will notice more than some performance improvements. And PC has better multimedia and in general more games. If you consider a PC waste, a console should be even more of a waste, since you pay more for less uses. Seems like you do not have a brain then. You will understand, what it means to think and to inform yourself before writing and a dumb ass comment, when you are an adult with a job. Oh wait. You dont have a job. That's why you cant afford a PC. :) And I bet with you that there are more adults with a PC than adults with a console. Kids and teenagers make up a big margin of console owners.

[@bird2112]

do you realize how much paying for a pc costs when you gotta work for it instead of asking your parents?

[@GaminGusTav]

Doge Coin Miner I do, since I did surely not get it from my parents. My PC cost 600€ (once ofc), then you gotta pay your internet provider which also adds to your bills. But you have to do that with console as well, along with paying 60€ a month for multiplayer. In the long run, a PC is cheaper than console.

[@SaltVinegar2010]

Doge Coin Miner $500-$600 will get you a pretty decent PC. Also with a PC you can get a lot of work done which can actually make you money. It's a much better long term investment than a console. You also can pay for it on finance instead of paying the cost upfront. You don't need to get a $1000+ PC.

Is it better to have unlimited frames, like 120+, or is it ok to just have 60fps?

[@jamescatton210]

Space Aids 60 fps is completely fine for most casual gamers. There's nothing wrong with 120fps+, I mean if your computer can do it, go for it. The only advantage is that if you have higher fps your reaction times will be faster. So unless you're really into competitive games like CS:GO where reactions are quite important when playing on a competitive level, you don't really need 120fps+. If you have a standard 60hz monitor, you probably won't notice the difference between 60fps and 100+ fps.

[@l1ttyluke363]

Atømic thanks!

[@randomplays1522]

Atømic Correction: If you have a 60hz monitor you will NOT see any difference. Your PC might say your game is at 120fps, but since the monitor can only run at 60 fps, it's impossible to actually see 120fps.

[@mamspugeti6931]

Even on my shitty 60hz monitor I get as high of a framerate as I can on every game that it doesn't cause problems for. It simply feels more responsive and looks better. Some games have things like physics tied to your framerate (looking at you, bethesda games) so going above 60 puts you at risk of things not working right, but aside from those edge cases I say take as many frames as you can get. However If your pc is so powerful that you constantly get far above 300 fps you should probably cap it, or you will put unnecessary strain on your hardware. Simple answer, for most people, just get as much FPS as you can- it's more responsive and looks better

[@DezZzO_YT]

Very good and informative video. I think FPS is far less important depending on what kind of game you're playing though.

[@ZackSiel]

You don't notice the smoothness past 60hz have you played at 144hz? I notice the difference as soon as I move a window or my mouse let alone start playing a game.

150+ is where I find it smooth and comfortable. Back in the day I had to use a sony trinitron equipped CRT monitor as I couldn't handle refresh rates lower than 120-160Hz without getting disorientated and feeling sick from the scan lines strobing down the screen. I normally ran it at 800x600 @ 180Hz or 640x480 @ 240Hz. When LCD became common that issue went despite their much lower refresh rate because of the LCDs naturally slowness and lingering image and also drawing complete images instead of scan lines it effectually blurs it all together nicely.

[@priit7777]

gameranx, 24fps in movies is much better than 24fps in games not because of the motion blur, but because the game frames are not rendered at constant speed, but when displayed at constant intervals, they cause stuttering, which kind of causes the sickness you described. Insert adaptive sync. (Since movies are filmed at constant speed frames in the first place, all the movies kind of are equal to adaptive sync gaming from the getgo. Thus no stuttering and no motion sickness... usually)

[@EternalSaber]

I absolutely refuse to play below 60fps!! It's high end or bust for me.

[@xDEVILDOGx]

In a console type world I would say the majority of players play on TV's as well. While frames are important there is still little you can do about it as a player. However, what you can do something about is Response time. The best investment I have ever made in gaming was getting a console gaming monitor (Zowie BenQ RL2455 60Hz, 1MS Response Time). I think the average good TV has a response time of 20-30MS. This was huge for me and my wife and couldn't believe the improvement that was made just from this investment. REMEMBER: If you do not play multiplayer games or any Versus type matches, it would not be as crucial; however for matches in Vs I.e. Gears of War, Call of Duty, etc.. it's a MUST.

24 fps in movies is done because of a style choice not a standard. When you shoot in 24fps you get motion blur in the hands and other stuff moving which comes down to a style choice, motion blur can be more peaceful where something like 60fps can be more aggressive.

[@dudesky1325]

Hey Falcon, it's restrictions or constraints. When we combine those two words and say "constrictions" you are using a word that means "to make narrow." It could be argued that reducing the FPS of a game is making your ability to view it more narrow but restrictions or constraints are better words because they mean "to hold back" and "to keep within a confined area" respectively.
