Thanks to the M1 chip there’s a surprising amount of games that these new Macbooks can run functionally. Not a game but interesting: Universe Sandbox. While looking around in the store too buy a new game, I saw that of the list of available games for Mac was further shortened due to compatibility with MacOS Catalina.

There you’ll also find what settings players used to test these games and if they experienced any issues. A bit old, but many strategy games actually are available on macOS: Endless Space 2, Planetary Annihilation: TITANS, Total War: SHOGUN 2, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II. I recently got Steam working on my new iMacPro. The results of their testing can be seen in this handy spreadsheet or a full list over on Apple Silicon. In the newest Tomb Raider trilogy, this one is the most action-oriented too, so this might be a good thing if that’s how you like your games. Thankfully, the game has aged well, both mechanically and graphically. Enough variety to prevent the game from ever feeling repetitive. Described simply, two teams of five wizards battle to knock over towers and flatten the enemy base in battles that tend to last between 30 minutes. Given that M1 Macs can handle games like this one it begs the question: what else can you play?Ī group of M1 owners have steadily been testing out the quality of a range of games on their new Apple laptops. Tomb Raider has stealth sections, gun combat, bow and arrow, and more. Dota 2 is one of the biggest games on Steam.
