TMA-INTUNE-MACOS-2.8.25
Ensure "Allow Multiplayer Gaming" is set to "False"
Description
Multiplayer gaming is a feature of Apple's Game Center service that enables users to participate in gaming sessions with other Game Center users. The feature facilitates real-time gameplay between users, and integrates with Game Center's social features for player matching and session management. The benchmark marks this a Manual check of an Intune macOS policy setting that cannot be read from the endpoint with a script, so TMAegis lists it as a manual review item with the audit steps (the policy must be inspected in the Intune admin center or on the managed device).
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
macOS: Intune admin center: Expand the Restrictions heading; Verify that Allow Multiplayer Gaming is present and set to False. On the device: Double-click com.apple.applicationaccess Profile; Under the Details section; Confirm Allow Game Center's "Multiplayer" is set to False
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Intune admin center: Select Restrictions; Check Allow Multiplayer Gaming; On the left side of the page set Allow Multiplayer Gaming to False; Verify that Allow Multiplayer Gaming is present and set to False
