Excerpt: When comparing Norton 360 for Gamers 2024 to McAfee, we found that the latter delivers solid protection, but the demo of the former impressed us with its multifaceted approach. Its multiple layers of security cover up to three devices, and while McAfee provides comparable features, Norton 360 went the extra mile with its Game Optimizer, ensuring minimal performance impact during intense sessions. We also appreciated the Gamer tag monitoring and the inclusion of a Secure VPN for extra privacy—a welcome bonus. The PC Cloud Backup was seamless, though McAfee has similar functionality. True, some users found the VPN slightly less intuitive, but the overall package felt more tailored for gamers. Ultimately, while McAfee is a strong contender, Norton 360’s specialized optimizations and comprehensive suite gave us a clear edge.
