How to Resize Games on Pogo Early Access

While many enjoy a larger gaming experience, we know some of you have expressed concern that the games on Pogo Early Access take up too much of the screen.

The good news is that the Pogo Early Access site – and all the games on it – are responsive. This is a fancy technical way of saying they scale to fit the size of your browser window. If you make your browser window smaller, the games will appear smaller.

Here’s how to go about that:

Step 1: Load up any Pogo game on Early Access.

Step 2: If your browser window is maximized (as in it takes up the full screen), press the “Restore Down” button. You can find it in the top-right corner, just to the left of the “X” close button. If your browser window is not maximized, you can skip to the next step.

Note: When the browser window is not maximized, the “Restore Down” button is replaced with a “Maximize” button. If you see the icon above, then you have already “restored down” and can proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Drag the top, bottom, left, right or corner edges of the browser window and make it the size you want. You should see the game in the window resizing to fit the space.

On the flip side, Club Pogo members also have the option of playing in Fullscreen mode. This can be done by pressing the “Fullscreen” button in the menu bar on the right side of every Pogo game.

By the way, if you’re curious what each button represents in the menu bar, you can press the top hamburger button (yes, that’s the technical term!) to extend the menu and show text descriptions.

The hamburger button looks like three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other.

Thanks again for all your feedback! We want to give you all as many ways to play your games as we can.

  • Hello again,

    Just found this thread and wanted to make my comments known again.

    Resizing the screen this way does not help in my situation!  I always have multiple screens/tabs up and if I resize your screen, the others are resized to an unacceptable size for me.  WHY can we not have a button on the game screen to make it any size WE want?  The game screen view is too large to start with and you have the ability to make it FULL SCREEN?  When you click on it it makes no difference in the size, first of all.  Secondly, why can't that button have the capability of making things smaller too?  

    I also have tried the ZOOM on my computer/browser and no matter what I put that on, it makes no difference!!  NEVER had that happen on any other site!

    Please do not give me the line that this is the way to resize, as I have received it many times already!  Can you give me anything thing new that you are trying to do to help many of us?
