New or upcoming Mac games

[Homy]

Last summer Apple announced RE Village, No Man's Sky and Grid Legends coming to Apple Silicon. RE Village and Winters' Expansion with Shadows of Rose have been released exclusively on Mac App Store. https://www.residentevil.com/village/us/mac/

NMS for Mac and Grid Legends for Mac are coming this year.

This year Apple has kicked off its gaming event early and had a press show with some upcoming games for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Here are the games shown at the event: https://9to5mac.com/2023/02/17/apple-event-gaming-iphone-mac/

- Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile
- Honkai: Star Rail
- Lego Starwars castaways
- Run Legends
- The Medium

The Medium coming to Mac has "very positive" reviews on Steam and uses UE4. Bloober Team has previously released Brawl, Layers of Fear and Observer on Mac but their last Mac game was Observer from 2017. They now make a comeback for "Apple Silicon Mac Lineup" after 6 years.

They plan a release this summer according to their tweet: https://twitter.com/TheMediumGame/status/1626237105042239490

Here is the trailer for Apple Silicon:

The Medium — coming to Apple’s Mac later this summer! The game takes full advantage of Metal — software that powers hardware-accelerated graphics on Apple platforms — resulting in smooth and...

Apple's new strategy seems to be sponsoring game devs financially? in exchange for exclusive titles on MAS, a similar path to Valve's solution to the lack of games on SteamOS. By helping developers like Capcom and Hello games financially? Apple helps to port new game engines to Mac which will be useful and cheaper for porting future titles. I think that’s a good solution and start, helping devs to port their engines and their first Mac game for exclusive titles on MAS.

It remains to see if such exclusive titles will come to Steam in the future.

In other news Crossover's new update 22.1 offers great news for me personally and others. Many old 32-bit games now work great. My favorite Bioshock Infinite which I barely could play on my iMac 2011 is one so now I can finish it on my M1 Max. Other 32-bit games now working great are Borderlands 1 and Calll of Duty 2.

I discovered that Gas Station Sim is now released for Mac with native support for Apple Silicon. Also Juno: New Origins is released and Disney Dreamlight Valley is out on Mac App Store only for M1. It has an empty Steam depot. Wonder if it's another exclusive deal Apple has made.
