Game mode has seen two updates since the version in the repository and some of them are for better performance. It has some cleanups and improvements like using soft real time scheduling and support for renice-ing games. It can also use configure files now.
Here is a a tarball for the latest release: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/releases/download/1.2/gamemode-1.2.tar.xz

With that being said, does Solus support SCHED_ISO in the kernel? It is needed for soft real time scheduling that can benefit a lot of games with better performance.

The reason Solus does not have the 1.2 version can be many things. I just think that time is not enough to work on this, busy life is busy.
