its different from game to game.  but in most games its synonymous with dexterity; providing either move speed, chance to hit, or decreased chance of being hit.

 

in PoE specifically, agility is a passive ability which increases your dexterity, which grants both accuracy and evasion.

Are you going to tell us what game, or are you asking IRL questions in the "PC Gaming" section? 

 

Please note that we don't have mind-reading through your computer yet, but the Windows 10 team says they're close ?

so if i had to upgrade the movement speed or agility would it be the same if i just went with agility? 

does any have any video that shows the difference? would appreciate it

Usually, agility in gaming is nimbleness, the ability to change the body's position efficiently, and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, and endurance.

 

Speed is usually how fast you can get from one place to another. Think of agility as "light-footed". Like in football, being able to cut on a dime.
