Game Mode will present the entire match from a perspective familiar to fans of footy games onPlayStation 5,Xbox Series X/S, PC andNintendo Switch.
The camera angle gives a wider view of the field, so viewers can see players running off the ball more clearly. This is usually important in competitive gaming, as you can see players you want to pass to, or runs you wish to make, but TV coverage usually favours a closer, action-focused presentation.
You can also switch between the two modes during the title contenders match this weekend, as the usual broadcast style will be shown from 16:30 BST on the Sky Sports Premier League channel, with the Game Mode version simulcast on the Sky Sports Football channel on Sky+,Sky Q,Sky GlassandSky Stream.
Sky Sports subscribers on Virgin Media and Sky’sstreaming serviceNow will also be able to view the trial format.

“We’re very excited to see what Game Mode can bring to the overall viewing experience for fans and believe it has great potential when it comes to in-game innovation,” said Sky Sports' director of production, Phil Marshall.
“We thank Arsenal FC and the Premier League for their support in testing this innovation.”
