The best Mac games for 2023

Macs have always been hit or miss when it comes to gaming. Until recently, it was always a gamble to know if a game would come to this operating system, and most of the time, that gamble didn’t pay off.

These features are MetalFX, an upscaling program, and the Fast Resource Loading API, which will decrease game loading times.

It doesn’t matter what kind of Mac gamer you are — there’s something for you.
