Games and automatic screen dimming?

[Nodnerb]

Is there any way to have the automatic screen dimming disable during games? Other than manually shutting it off of course. I find this phone dims more than my previous phones when my thumbs are in the way playing games.

I think manually is the only way. I don't see how the phone would know if the app you are using is a game or an app like instagram. Unless you can find some sort of third-party app in the play store that would allow you to white list apps you want at specific brightness is my best guess else you'll need to manually disable it.

Ok thanks. Some phones have game modes and thought maybe there was one for the pixel. Not sure if that is a feature of any other manufacturers game modes either though.
