Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is planning a dedicated app for video games on its devices, reported Bloomberg News on Tuesday.

The company will preinstall the app on the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV set-top box later this year, the report said, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

According to the report, the software will serve as a launcher for titles and centralize in-game achievements, leaderboards, communications and other activity. The new app will replace Game Center and will feature editorial content from Apple about new titles, while offering access to the App Store’s games and promote Arcade.

I’m getting the air 15” just for everyday stuff, some coding for my personal projects, and some gaming when I’m traveling. The base pro is 150$ more and I won’t use any of those features so idk, I’m not really keen on spending more unless the air is completely useless to play games on (at a decent framerate)

Minimum (and recommended) system requirements:
System: MacOS 11.0
Processor: M1 or Intel Core i5 2.0 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: 2 GB VRAM GPU
Storage: 15 GB

I'm looking for something quality without spending much more than EUR 50. I'm guessing the best way to go is a refurbished or second hand Playstation controller? (currently boycotting Microsoft). I appreciate any recommendations.

I see some good looking budget options but then read about occasional lag issues, stuck buttons or incompatibility with games. But these are designed for major consoles so maybe that's all irrelevant when it comes to macOS compatibility. I'm totally green here. Thanks!

Hey, recently I bought myself license for CrossOver since trial version satisfied me and here are my thoughts about it. Software itself is really easy to use and install programs from CrossOver. Staff is really helpful, when I wanted to use logo of CrossOver for article, they gave me permission to use it without any problem, even on discord they help a lot. Community is also great, I really felt warm when joining their discord. And the best part of buying license? It supports directly developers of wine (it translated calls to windows api so they could work on Mac api and Linux api). I also haven’t run into any issues yet when playing games through CrossOver.

For those who haven't been keeping up, cyberpunk 2077 ultimate edition is coming to mac in "early 2025", which means this is a great time to pick it up if you're interested.

Funny games disproportionally appear on the Mac? Data inconclusive, but vibes say yes.

I was curious to see if the new (old) Red Dead Redemption can be played on macOS through a compatibility software (Whisky or Crossover).

But it seems the game can't be played because the DRM used on it ins't compatible with Crossover.

I'm curious if the already cracked version can be used on Crossover or Whisky. Has anyone tested it? If it works, then it's only way to play the game on macOS.

Edit.: Here is some testing that the game can't be played on macOS now. There are two ways of playing it: emulating the Switch version through Ryujinx or the cracked version.

When Palia released on Switch earlier this week, I had no idea it was also available on PC. I did some digging and found this launcher and guide for running Palia on Mac. So far I have been playing it most of the day without issue. Setup was just as easy as setup on Windows.

TL;DR: System requirements are ranging from M1 to M1 Pro or better Apple silicon chips. The game is priced at $60 on Steam.
