Like every year previous, it sounds like Apple is going to squeeze gaming into its software announcements.<\/p>\n<p><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-05-27\/apple-to-debut-dedicated-gaming-app-within-days-of-switch-2-s-arrival\" target=\"_blank\">According to Bloomberg&#8217;s Mark Gurman<\/a>, Apple is planning to unveil a &#8220;dedicated gaming app&#8221; that &#8220;will serve as a launcher for titles and centralize in-game achievements, leaderboards, communications and other activity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That sounds a lot like Steam, only this app will feature games from the App Store and, of course, the Apple Arcade subscription service. However, Gurman also mentioned that the Mac version &#8220;can tap into games downloaded outside of the App Store,&#8221; so maybe it will connect to your Steam or Epic Games library somehow.<\/p>\n<p>Apple also <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/gaming\/apple-acquires-rac7-sneaky-sasquatch\/\" target=\"_blank\">recently purchased RAC7<\/a>, the studio behind Sneaky Sasquatch, which might hint that they&#8217;re planning to do some in-house game development.<\/p>\n<p>The past few years have also seen a handful of prominent games get ported to Apple&#8217;s platforms, like Assassin&#8217;s Creed Mirage and Resident Evil 4, and Netflix Gaming has made some admirable progress bringing over indie games like Hades and Death&#8217;s Door.<\/p>\n<p>While all of that is a step in the right direction, most gamers are still opting for a Windows PC or a console to play anything beyond mobile games. A new game launcher for Apple devices will probably make it more convenient finding and managing games on your Mac or iPhone, but it doesn&#8217;t address the underlying issue of game compatibility.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Apple, right now gaming on Linux is a better experience than gaming on Mac, which is really saying something. One has to wonder why Apple doesn&#8217;t take a page from Valve&#8217;s book and develop a compatibility layer for macOS like Valve&#8217;s Proton platform, which has brought hundreds of Windows games to Linux.<\/p>\n<p>A compatibility layer would reduce the hassle for developers to bring their games to Apple devices, or at least to macOS, and create a path to quickly grow the player base on macOS.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, Apple has to work against the Catch-22 of no players vs no game developers: game devs aren&#8217;t creating games for Mac because gamers are overwhelmingly playing on Windows, and <em>that<\/em> won&#8217;t change until there are more games on Mac.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, MacBooks have gotten a lot better for gaming since Apple launched its M-series chips. The issue is that there aren&#8217;t very many games compatible with macOS to really take advantage of that hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Some sort of Proton-like compatibility layer, which could be built into Apple&#8217;s new launcher, seems like the perfect way to bridge that gap and show how good gaming on macOS can be, potentially leading more devs to offer native Mac support.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"92bfd27d-03ee-4157-b315-790c2ef9ce2a\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/apple-is-reportedly-creating-its-own-steam-like-game-launcher-but-its-still-missing-the-key-to-making-gaming-on-mac-great.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"92bfd27d-03ee-4157-b315-790c2ef9ce2a\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/apple-is-reportedly-creating-its-own-steam-like-game-launcher-but-its-still-missing-the-key-to-making-gaming-on-mac-great\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple&#8217;s 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC,is just a couple weeks away.
