ARM64 Games

[VonTirpitz]

I have a Surface Pro X and Ive been looking for games that are ARM64 compatible. Im finding this a hard task currently and wondered if it might be possible to put a 32Bit/64Bit/Arm64 filter of some sort in to help me and other ARM64 users to easily find games that will run on our systems. Should increase Valves revenue too if prospective buyers can find things easily.

Game devs would have to add the flag for it on their titles for it to work correctly first. Seeing as most didn't do it for the Catalina update marking them 64-bit, I don't see this happening in the near future.

Are there even any ARM compatible games on Steam?

Well that's the Question Really, there are x86 games that run on ARM, Gary grigsby war i the east, and close combat the bloody first, world of tanks. Some are more stable that others. Obviously there will be limitation as were working with snapdragon chips, but still the market for ARM64 is growing so I cant see why why it cant be done.

Well, X86 aka 32Bit games run on certain ARM CPUs by emulating the x86 environment.
Not very efficient and can cause issues.


Yes, ARM is growing in performance and market share. But it's a long way off as a choice for gaming.

Box64 and Box86 should get you most of the way through it

Erm. x86 is NOT "aka 32-bit". https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/x86

x86 is a lineage of processor architecture. This is why you can fine plenty of software labeled x86 64-bits. x86 dosen't forbid something from being 64-bits.

I know that's an irrelevant detail in the scope of that discussion but I thought I could contribute a bit this way since I know jack about modern macs.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
