Apple’s new Games app headlines another WWDC push for Mac gaming, complete with shiny graphics upgrades and a fresh batch of titles — some of which might even launch when promised.
On Monday, Apple held the keynote for its yearly software-forward event, WWDC. While much of the focus was on the sleek new interface it would be standardizing across its platforms, it still found a bit of time to mention gaming on Mac.
A new app called Apple Games will give players a one-stop-shop for gaming on their devices. It includes both Apple Arcade games and third-party games, as well as new Play Together features and a dedicated Library tab.
We also learned that macOS Tahoe will introduce Metal 4, bringing more advanced graphics and improved rendering technologies to games. This includes MetalFX Frame Interpolation and MetalFX Denoising, for smoother visuals and faster frame rates.
Apple announced the following games set to roll for macOS Tahoe:
- Crimson Desert
- InZOI
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Cronos: The New Dawn
- Architect: Land of Exile
- Lies of P: Overture
- HITMAN World of Assassination
- EVE Frontier
- Where Winds Meet
The list is hardly, exhaustive, though. At the least, we know a few other games are coming to Mac in the future. Recently, we learned that Sniper Elite 5 will make its debut to Mac, iPhone, and iPad in the first quarter of 2026.
For a second year in a row, Dead Island 2 has been featured as part of the WWDC Games hype graphic — but there’s still no word on a release date. CyberPunk 2077 remains missing in action as well, so far.
Another game, extraction looter-shooter Escape from Duckov will be heading to the Mac App Store and Steam at some point in the future, too — though there’s currently no word when.
