Cyberpunk 2077 comes to Mac… 5 years later
You can finally play Cyberpunk 2077 On your MacBook! Later this week. In 2025, five years after the game, the game struck PC and consoles (in a launch certainly problematic). Cyberpunk 2077No doubt the most anticipated game Never When he arrived in a media and expectations blizzard, landed on a pocket computer in Nintendo before arriving at Mac. Insert Nelson MUNTZ “ha ha!” here.
I do not often engage in these kinds of taunts through the fence. Hell, as a Windows user for life and Android fanboy of an entire career, I must admit that Microsoft and Google seem clearly unattractive at the moment, while the two companies are groping their equipment and try to push AI in all possible orifices of their software.
But even if it is largely independent of Microsoft’s actions, the PC game is in a fairly good place in 2025, at least from the point of view of a player … and specifically from the point of view of a player who does not need a new GPU. And despite a centralized enviable platform store, the one who also has access to millions of iOS applications and games, people who really want to play PC games on the Mac are still disadvantaged.
As a mental exercise, I will enter ten notable PC games from 2025 without checking if there is a Mac version and see what it looks like. Here are the ten released this year that I chose blindly:
- 9 kings
- Declared
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- Blue prince
- Clear obscure: shipping 33
- Doom: dark ages
- Like a dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- Spider-Man 2
- Stellar blade
On this list, only 9 kings (easily the smallest game of them and also developed on the multiplatform unit engine) and Assassin’s Creed Shadowsare available for Mac now. Be just, Declared And LOSS are published by Microsoft (via its Studios Obsidian and Bethesda), and Microsoft is encouraged not to publish games on Mac. But Also To be fair, many of these games come from massive publishers like Sony, Sega and Capcom, who definitely have the resources to wear games on Mac at the exit if they wish.
So yes, Windows as a platform, even as a game The platform is not without its problems at the moment. And personally, I hope that Valve improves and gives it an essential competition for laptops and office computers. But if you want the most games, right away, on the most powerful equipment, Windows is always the way to follow.
That said, it’s not like people with a Mac were completely excluded from the PC game. There is a fairly decent list of games that users can “be worn” to Apple M ARM equipment using an official Apple Game Portage Box, which is similar to the valve protons compatibility layer for the steam game. And streaming options, including GeForce de Nvidia now, open it a little wider if you are ready to dive into a subscription.
