Games

The Games hub on OnePlus and OPPO phones, with a game library, in-game toolbox, performance modes and notification blocking. It is safe to disable: you lose nothing most people will miss.

What it does

Games collects your installed games in one place and adds an in-game toolbox you pull down from a top corner, with performance modes, notification styles, call handling, screen recording and on-screen stats. It replaced OnePlus Game Space after OnePlus moved to the shared OPPO codebase. It runs when a game starts and occasionally in the background to spot new games.

Also shown as Game Space, OnePlus Games.

If you disable it

The Games library, the in-game toolbox and gaming performance modes go away. Games themselves install and run normally.

How to disable it

On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oplus.games

adb shell pm enable com.oplus.games

The stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oplus.games

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.oplus.games

New to ADB? Set it up in about ten minutes.
