Check that you have not enabled portrait lock in Control Center. On an iPhone, the control looks like a padlock with a circle with an arrow around it.

Ensure that you have updated your iPad to the most recent version of iPadOS:

iPad5*, iPad Pro (9.7"/12.9" 1st generation)* - iPadOS 16.7.15
iPad6, iPad Pro 12.9" 2nd generation*, iPad Pro 10.5" - iPadOS 17.7.10
iPad7 - iPadOS 18.7.7

(*) obsolete

Newer models are all able to be updated to the current version - iPadOS 26.4:

iPad Pro 13" (M4/M5)
iPad Pro 12.9" (3rd generation and later)
iPad Pro 11" (1st generation and later + M4/M5)
iPad Air (3rd generation and later + M2/M3/M4)
iPad (8th generation and later + A16)
iPad mini (5th generation and later + A17 Pro)

If you are experiencing difficulties with a specific App or game - and not others - you'll need to seek assistance from the App Developer:

How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

It is not unusual for Apps to require periodic update to maintain full compatibility with iPadOS.
