Thank you Andrew for all your efforts in Mac gaming.
Not me watching this on my 8gig m1
I can confirm that some of these games (Like Inscryption) works perfectly on M1
Me too.. M1 air
try Valheim
Thank you for making such great content for the Mac community! A video idea that would be very interesting would be a guide for video games on Mac. For example, talk from native games to Playcover, Crossover, Parallels, Wisky, GPTK, Rosetta. Explain the current situation of gaming on Mac. How to make the best use of all the tools that exist depending on the type of gaming that the person wants to do.
Those types of videos are the ones that give the most reach and numbers, and surely it would be a great help. I am an enthusiast and I have studied a lot of the subject, I still learn with your videos. And I am sure that those who want to understand how all this works, would be very grateful.
Yep I am planning this, a super long video explaining everything about Mac gaming to a beginner.
You forgot Nine Sols, my top 1 Mac game for 2024 😄
Crazy to think 3-4 years ago the Mac scene maybe had Dota 2 and a few others. And with GPTK2 the situation is even more intense.
we already have dota 2 i think yeah its in my macs library
yep, now after 4 years you have like 30 games😂
@@ejdhdjejejebdnem nah, as I said, with GPTK2 and translations, you can run most modern games. Sure, it’s not going to perform as well, but you don’t buy a Mac for gaming. You buy those for productivity and hey, if there’s a game you wanna play and actually works fine now, then why not?
Though I’m not the target audience with a RTX 4080 desktop lol. I just like Apple laptops.
There was definitely a lot more than DOTA2 and a few other. Steams show 20k games with Mac support.
Thank you just in time for steam summer sale!
The long dark is amazing
genuinely excited about future of mac gaming
Just a quick suggestion you might want to consider for future videos.
I would love to know if these apps are supported via Crossover or Whisky (If they aren't native) + pricing for each one.
Thanks so much for the amazing work you've done
Thank you for the great overview ❤😊
Great video!!
Thanks! It’s a great list.
Everspace 2 is a fantastic game. It’s a must play.
It would be cool to make a list of games that can or will be able to run with Crossover or similar tools and GPTK / GPTK2, I would really appreciate that. Thanks for your content and efforts!
thank you so much for this!
Hello @Andrew Tsai ! Will Valorant come to Mac anytime soon? I really Love the Game and want to play, so badly. Thank you for your time❤
you should check out Tunic and Stray, but nice video!
I would suggest you have a look at Carrier Command 2, it's a bit of a niche strategy game, a remake of an 80s classic, and works well on my M2 Pro
Could you make other video with Nioh, armored core and disgaea 4 and 7 ?
Old World needs to be on this list. Steam version is Apple Silicon native and it's the best 4X strategy game available.
No factorio? Dissapointed! One of the best optimization ever. Great list btw.
It’d be nice to know if the GOG equivalents are also Silicon Native too. I’m guessing most will be Rosetta based, but it seems hard to find the info to be sure.
How do these games play on M1 16GB Ram?
Hey Andrew. At this point is aethersx2 still a better option than psx2 for emulation on silicon ? Aether hasn’t had any updates in ages
Yes still better for now!
@@Andytizer thank u 🙏
Aragami deserves to be on the list !!!!
Are those games playable with crossover 23 or do I need the latest version/update to play them ? (For those which aren’t native)
All macOS.
@@Andytizer OK thank you
Playing Elden Ring on my Mac now, great experience
No Eso? thanks for all the amazing games you put us on to tho!
I'm playing a Dave the diver, it is a really cool game. it is pretty unique
Does metro exodus work well on base M1?
I asked this question on Reddit but I got different answers.
Yes it's playable 30-40 FPS Low at 800p.
Does anyone know why I cannot run the EA app in crossover? I am trying to play Titanfall 2 and used to be able to play, but now the ea app will not even launch it on my m1 MacBook Air. Did the ea app break for crossover or smth? Thanks
Nice list, you should also try out Factorio it runs perfectly on M1 and is the best game ever 😜
“Based on Pinocchio, but more of a, sci-fi, fantasy setting…” lol That was funny. I am curious to see the performance improvements with the M4 chip with 64GB+ ram if any. And I want to see gaming on the new m4 iPad Pro if that is possible. Thanks for trailblazing the Windows gaming on the Mac!
IPad is limited by IPad OS
Can i download universe sandbox too via steam
This video should mention which of these apps are also/already available on the Apple App store.
Is Metro Exodus run in native ARM or rosetta?
M1 thumbnail proceeds to show footage on m3 max
A lot of the games are being played on M1 in this video.
It’s like a broken record. The M1 is 4 years old at this point. It will just have considerably worse performance and that’s all you need to know. There are other videos on this channel that show the difference.
You really have nothing to do huh
@@ilyasz4473 could say the same for you.
No emulation so its not a big deal
i tried Valheim on my MBA M1 8 gb and it running with fluid 60 fps almost max graphs, very good optimization btw.
Hey guys!! Hope someone can help me with a solution. I bought Call of Duty Black ops III. But sadly when I wanna start playing any of the modes I get stuck in a loading screen.
Please make another summary video like this but a list of games can run on CrossOver (both GPTK 1 & 2) and their performance/FPS.
Good idea, I’m working on it!
@@Andytizer Oh thanks you so much for reading my comment! I have M3 Pro MacBook and just buy CrossOver license but still hesitant to choose more games to buy because I'm wondering about its compatibility and performance with CrossOver and GPTK.
If you make that video, it would be a huge help for me and of course for many people out there interested in gaming on Mac.
Please cover Nine Sols!
You can also play Elder Scrolls Online, Diablo, Hearthstone, WoW, MTG Arena and Overwatch
A lot of these games would be so good on iPad pros with m series chips, especially Valhime. I hope we can get Lies of P on M chip iPad Pros soon, that game is very well made and optimised. I’d love to see boulders gate 3 also, but i have a feeling this will need the M4 for the extra power and tbh be the 16gb iPad. So i have a feeling these very large games wont come to iPad pros until Apple start giving 12-16gb Ram as standard.
Resident Evil needs to be on Steam
I tried playing bg3 on M2 16GB. It barely ran on low.
What about F12023 will it run now? as GPTK2 supports AVX
I think you should check out Superliminal
Hollow knight and slay the spire really miss this list
I'd add eve online as one of the first to get native mac client and path of exile
I also have a mac, its a productivity beast but for a good gaming experience you need the top end (which can cost upwards of $3500+), I just got a steamdeck OLED for $480m, all games look better play better leaving only couple of most demanding ones that are not playable.
I would add Slipways and ∆V Rings of Saturn to the list.
No mention of Factorio and Death Stranding??
Andrew please showcase the M3 base macbooks, the ones with 16gb RAM. :) We can't afford the M3 Max, not even Pro. :))
Yep I'm doing a video on M3 MBA 16GB soon!
I was really worried you didn't include Hades..
You should add Hollow Knight to the list 😊
Forgetting the biggest - Sims 4… it runs natively on ARM, apple silicon and is optimized for metal. With an M3 Pro I was getting 90+ FPS at 3K Ultra settings. This was better performance than a 4070 Zephyrus G14 with a 8945HS CPU (I tested both)… and was actually the only reason I got a MacBook for work instead of the G14 because MacOS is better streamlined for my work over windows, and as a bonus runs sims 4 better than most windows laptops I’ve tried. Of course a high powered $3000+ gaming laptop outperforms an M3 Pro MacBook, but then again the M3 Max competes well with those high end gaming laptops
Sims 4 is a fantastically optimised native Mac game but the macOS version is Origin only, not on Steam :).
@@Andytizer EA App now! EA rolled out their windows exclusive EA app on macOS and even that runs natively on apple silicon
Mac m3 + Fussion + Steam best
he missed a new very good game called nine sols ! and also th goat hollowknight
Thank you for reminding me I backed this game ages ago and now it’s out, can’t believe I missed it!
DOS2 run ok on Intel Mac and on m1 Mac it run great, definitely better then BG3
Nowadays people call games playable when they can barely run at HD resolution and the lowest possible settings. In this case yes, games are playable on base models :)
ETS 2 and ATS 2? :))
owlcat (Warhammer rouge trader) is a russian studio
This video, but running Windows on parallels, VMware and or crossover
I'm crying right now. I started to play Valheim a week after Ashland's update release (~20 may). At that moment there was still no Mac version. So I played on my MacMini m2 8gb, by using Whisky. Low settings, crashed twice (black screen , had to power off manually). Ashland's unplayable. And now! Now, you are telling me they realise Mac version. I finished it less than weak ago ffs! (xbox cloud gaming) ;)
Anyway Valheim is a great game, strongly recommend, specially in cooperation.
Peace
They always said they would consider making a Mac version about 3 years ago, I was dubious but they pulled through!
Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe is unplayable on M-chip processors because of graphical glitches
the title should be " the entire 30 games for Mac on steam " 😂😂😂
i genuinely think that's all games available for mac
There are plenty more. And if you take into account gptk 2/whisky/crossover you have tons.
Euro Truck Simulator/American Truck Simulator works on mac
We need more reliable controller support for mac games. Over half of my games that can run on my mac, the controller wont work.
black ops 3 for mac is 67% off rn on steam. lets populate the multiplayer lol.
Seriously, to not include Timberborn and RimWorld on this list is a grave oversight. I would also throw honorable mentions to Dawn of Man, Surviving Mars, and Factory Town.
Doom Eternal still unplayable?
The Long Dark
So next up x30
They need to hire andrew in qpple
Warthunder ?
very fun military game
If wows is working im happy…
PLEASE PLEASE show MSFS 2020! Why won't anyone show this game on Mac? Does it get 20FPS, 150 FPS? Noone knows. Or does it just not work.. Would love to know either way with all the latest updates in Mac gaming. Thanks.. If anyone has done this review would love to see the link. Thanks!
@@pilotbsinthesky3443 Unfortunately, the only thing about it is this 2022 applegamingwiki reference , I didn’t find anything else about: Verified by User:SNLP on 23/01/2022

List of mac games on steam looking same every video
lol because that's the entire catalog of games for mac on steam
All benchmark were in m3 max…..
More than half are on M1 and M2 Macs.
We keep asking for various games that no one seem to cover, but this hyperfocus on fps, rpg, is getting old. I keep coming here because you are the public face of GPTK, but other than a couple games sprinkled in (civ, card game), they are nearly all the same type of game. Will someone please look at simulators? Anyone get Starfield or MS Flight Simulator running? How about F1?
Give me your top 3 best games from this video ? (I want to buy game ...)
Balatro, BG3, Vampire Survivors.
Crosscode
Stray is still freezing at the level in the sewers. You can't complete the game on Apple silicon
I managed to
I played through this a while back with no issues.
Bro where is war thunder?
Frankly, Tunic should be in the top 3 but it's not even listed 😮. It's a masterpiece and was even developed on Mac.
Pubg pc and tekken 8 on mac please
Tekken 8 already works, multiplayer update is in the nightly.
War Mongrels
First
Hello fellow humans🙈
The comments section in many of the videos on this channel is filled with people saying “why show m3max when people have m1”
How come that same energy isn’t being said about 4090 videos? 😂😂😂😂
Nobody seems to be complaining about 4090 benchmarks. …
But but but … nobody can afford 4090!!! 😂😂
Funny how that works for some people
It is disingenuous tho
I think the difference is, the 4090 videos and generally their respective channel hosts are all about peak performance and what is at the edge of what is possible in the latest hardware.
Where as this channel and videos are more focused on compatibility and tutorials on how to get things running. That’s the viewership he has built up and most of his videos even the ones featuring M3 Max are about compatibility and tutorials on getting games running. So people are coming here to see the edge of what is possible, they are just coming here to see if they can run a game and how to do it.
Personally I do love the M3 Max videos and after seeing the GPU performance on the M4 iPad, I am super excited to see what will be possible on M4 Max. Apple’s APUs are downright magic, the highest end full fat desktop APU from AMD struggles to compete graphically with iPad. That is insane.
I do still think that the base chips are more important to make videos around though, and then the fun stuff should be second tier. People want help and information. A game that runs well on base M1 is going to run well on every M chip. So those tutorials help everyone. A game that runs on M3 Max doesn’t necessarily run well or even at all on M1 base. So a tutorial to setup a game based on M3 Max is possibly useless and even wasting someones time, leading to frustration in wasted time or lack of information that can be found.
That said, this video in particular covers a lot of base M1 👏
@@destructodisk9074 there’s no difference between setting games up for m3max and m1 … just different resolutions.
It’s not like you need to install different patches to get it working on m1 vs m3.
@@destructodisk9074 There are far more people with the M1 chip than with those who have an M1 ultra or M3 max etc
@@leonardodavinci7425 just like 4090 owners is a tiny fraction of install base
Fortnite please 🥺
Stardew Valley is honestly better than all of these games.
Stardew Valley is amazing especially if you like relaxing gameplay. Kinda surprised that he didn't put it in this list.
