Just a few days ago, I broke yet another record: 20 Million concurrent players. Steam is by far the biggest gaming platform in the World. PS: Some great Mac games had to be ignored because this list only focuses on Mac games available on Steam (for example Borderlands 3 could not be included as its Mac version is only available on Epic games). ✅ Now updated to 64-bit and supports Catalina! Plus it’s cross-platform on MacOS, Windows, Linux, and PS4. War Thunder features full-scale PvP battles, historical campaigns in PvE, a large number of solo missions, and cooperative multiplayer. With a huge number of available planes, tanks, and even navy vessels, War Thunder offers anything your heart could desire for mid-20th-century combat. From my understanding (which is limited), it is based on Wine, a macOS to Windows translation layer that has been around for quite some time.A newer entry in the WWII genre formerly dominated by World War II Online, War Thunder also includes the Korean War era in its air and land combat options. You can purchase a software called Crossover ($60 USD at the time of writing), which makes an effort at translating macOS commands into Windows commands. There are two ways to run windows games on macOS. Using Rosetta 2, you can play almost every game available on macOS, sacrificing a good chunk of performance. Rosetta 2 is this translation layer Apple created so that applications built for Intel-based macOS will still work on M1-based Macs. This is the best-case scenario, but unfortunately, there are very few games in this category at the time of writing this article. They perform the best, and the only cost is the cost of the game. These are the games that run natively on the M1 chips.

There are a few different types of games you can play on an M1 Mac with varying levels of playability and expense ordered below from best to worst.

MacOS gaming needs work, but… Ways To Play
