Who said Macs weren't made for gaming ?

Apple no longer hides its intention to make a place for itself in the video game market. During each of its keynotes, it devotes part of the conference to games, whether mobile or on computers. With the arrival of a new generation of Macs, equipped with even more powerful chips, Apple has the technical capabilities to run the best games of the moment on its machines.

In addition to having to convince the public that it is possible to play on Mac, Apple must convince developers that there is an audience on these computers for their games. To bring them back to macOS, Apple uses all the tricks, even going so far as to print money.

In recent months, this method has more or less borne fruit. Big names in video games such as the Resident Evil license have signed with Apple. Apple also picked up the Assassin’s Creed titles from French company Ubisoft.

Cyberpunk 2077: a double-edged bet

This list has just grown this week with the signing of Cyberpunk 2077. The game, known for being very resource-intensive, will therefore be arriving on Mac at the beginning of 2025. Four years after the arrival of the PC version (in total confusion at the time), the game, which has become a classic of the genre, will therefore attempt to reconcile Mac users and video games.

The arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 is in any case shaping up to be a real challenge for Apple. The game is known for being very demanding. In particular, it requires several technical innovations to offer high-level graphics to players. Not all PC machines can boast of having the sufficient configuration for this type of game.

The Justice of the Peace

On Apple's side, a failure on this game would be the symbol of too great a difference between the needs of a player and the capabilities of a Mac. Cyberpunk 2077 appears to be an immunity test for Apple. If the brand with the apple wins it, it will be able to boast about it for a long time and its reputation in the world of video games will be established.

If, on the other hand, it misses with Cyberpunk 2077 and the game is not as good on Mac as it is on PC, the consequences for Apple could be dire. The announcement of the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac was made this week while Apple took the opportunity to launch new Macs.

The brand with the apple notably marketed a new version of its iMac this Monday. Tuesday was dedicated to the Mac mini, which has become even smaller. And finally, this Wednesday, it was the MacBook Pros that were honored by the Cupertino firm.
