Another potential macOS gaming killer, for sure. Just one more thing Publishers can support other than “native macOS games”.

100% of PS5’s were purchased to play games. I doubt even half of those Macs were purchased, primarily, to play games.
Why emulate when Blizz has a native Apple Silicone client though? Oh wait, you’re playing on a no-no server, aren’t you?
Not many apples on them upcoming games here on Steam – mostly windows:

Will be interesting to see how it looks in a few years.

My crystal ball says it will be the same or worse.
Sim City 4 Deluxe just got an update on the App Store and now can run natively on M1/M2 Macs. Not a Feral game, but nice to see that some developers are updating their library.
Would love to see some other titles on the App Store get a native update, especially Civilization and the Metro series.

YES even if they had every game, the hardware is still 3-4x as expensive. I may not be able to Ultra everything, but I can still play with decent graphics. Plus way more money for the actual games
Plus it’s not really a hardware issue. Nintendo Switch gets more games and its GPU is a joke. I can play current gen games on a GTX 1080.
Even if Apple created a GPU that rivals what we expect a RTX 6090 to be, it still wouldn’t matter. Consoles and Windows are a priority due to the marketshare and game library.
As a game dev, this is why I focus on windows and NOT macOS. 4090, 5090 or 6090 level of performance on a Mac changes nothing in that regard.
As a gamer, I’m not giving up my 500 game library on Steam by using a Mac as my only gaming system. It will be 10+ years AT BEST to see things change.
I wonder how much longer the current version of Windows will support 32-bit software?
We'll see what happens with Apple Silicon Macs and gaming. I think there is a chance it will work thinking of Apple's Metal improvements. As long as a game on similarly performing hardware isn't too far from the same game in Windows that is.
Capcom just released RE Village Winter Expansion for Mac.

Resident Evil Village claws its way onto Mac devices powered by Apple silicon!
Any 3rd Person perspective games for the M1 Mac? 1st person makes me nauseous and throw up. 😭
I bought my M1 mini in 2020 and ever since feral did not release an update for the 64Bit intel games. I would buy a native and controller fixed version on the MAS, I don't think steam will be the future of mac gaming. But it seems that feral went the same way all the other porters did...they just quit mac gaming!
Apple need to start making changes if they want any developers to believe they're vaguely interested in gaming on Mac. I can't see it happening.
They're doing a really weird way of announcing it, then. Last news post on their website was on the 16th of April, announcing patch 1.4 for Sid Meiers Railroads iOS, and there's still careers listed on the website.
