Why the screen seems more demanding up close
A screen occupies more of your field of view when you move toward it. Its images and motion take up a larger visual angle—the amount of your view they cover—so a fast-moving game can feel more immediate and absorbing. The picture has not gained detail or become easier to control; it simply fills more of what you see.
Intensity is not the same as precision
Leaning forward can also narrow your attention. With less of the room in view, it may be easier to ignore distractions and keep your eyes on a target. That can feel like concentration increasing, even though the lean itself does not improve your aim. In a game, accuracy still depends on what you see and how you move the controller or mouse; sitting closer does not make those inputs more precise.
There can be a practical exception: if small targets or text are hard to see, moving closer may make them appear larger. But for a target you can already see clearly, the extra intensity is mostly a change in how the scene feels—not a shortcut to hitting it.
