After a LOT of comments told me I should try gaming on my MacBook, I decided to give it a try starting with lightweight native games, going through compatibility layers to try playing windows exclusives and finally benchmarking Cyberpunk 2077 all to answer one question: can you game on macOS? Well, you’ll find out only by watching the video 😉
Also, remember to STAY POSITIVE!

  1. Nice video man! Do you mind doing a tutorial on how to install sikarugir or what tutorial did you use? And Please can you test out cs2? Thank you!

  2. Very cool. I have an M2 Pro chip and the funny thing is it performs about the same as the M1 Max chip for gaming. Hope to see you create more content for the Mac gaming community… yeah we really do exist 😅

  3. The reason you cant game on mac os is capitalism. They dont want everyone buying a mac and fir it to be the obvious choice when choosing a laptop. They want windows computers to sell aswell. Mac would be the future of computers if you could do literally everything on them including play any game on steam.

  4. I switched to macos recently and with lies of p, hades, deltarune, and other games beign native the gaming experience has been great, also shotout to astris swith emulator, however I'll may build a pc next year bc I miss playing l4d2, tf2 and the RE games I own in steam and crossover doesn't seem like a good option for me

  5. How bad is the battery life on this mac? Seen you charge it atleast 3 times during this video. Is the M1 that bad?

  6. Can you try switching emulation, especially Animal Crossing and Persona 5 Royal, please?

  7. Honestly Sikarugir supports so many more games, it's actually really good. E.g. I could play Anno 1800 with 60fps and effectively 0 issues. If you told me 10 years ago that Wine on a mac can run latest (I don't recognise Anno 117) Anno game with 60fps at full resolution and have effectively no issues I wouldn't believe you

  8. Isn’t this in 2k? That’s really good for an M1 Max at 1440p, 75fps+ is smooth then

  9. A Switch 2 + Mac gaming with Crossover for games like Deadlock, plus the native games has been more than enough

  10. I just started going to college and my macbook pro M3 (base) is extremely powerful. Its so powerful in fact that its 3x faster in opening some applications and doing work in them than my 2000€ computer. I game a lot so not being able to play a lot of games is a big bummer but fuck is it ever fast in vsc or rider.. 😂

  11. so you are going to run… through a comparability layer, a game you can get native on Mac?
    you sir are a moron.
