M1 support ?

Is the Steam version of Blender for macOs have the Apple Silicon native build ?

[TorchFire]

I'm also curious about this. Does anyone know how to make sure that Steam installs the Apple Silicon (ARM) version of Blender?

[escalinci]

No, it doesn't. I just tried installing it and in activity monitor I see that it is an intel/x86 binary, unlike the version downloaded directly from Blender's website.

Anybody know any other ways to automatically keep blender up to date on a mac?

I have a m1 mac, and been wondering that too. I hope steam get the ARM build. Try asking someone from the blender foundation, or something.

August 2022 here checking in to say it still doesn't appear possible. If not by default, then at least being able to select it in the "Beta" versions menu would be great.

Came here looking for a Universal solution... it's crazy this isn't a thing on Steam yet... the M series Mac's have been out for years now, they're most likely the most widely used Macs on the market now and there's still only an Intel build here

I'll have to resort to getting it through the Blender site... I wanted it on Steam because of the simplicity of getting updates

You can fix this by replacing the "Contents" folder in the Steam Blender with the Apple Silicon application Contents folder from blender.org

I resorted to getting it and keeping it up-to-date through Brew… my last post here was Sep 2023, I gave up on the Steam delivery… is it really pushing out an Intel build still?!!
