Alternative would be to go for a gaming laptop but I believe that solution will cost me more than 1000 euro for a decent laptop with W10. The home office i use does not have the space for a gaming desktop.

My issue, for considering the Mac Mini, is the small factor.

So Fall Guys is not supported right now on Steam for Mac. Thank you for the comprehensive answer, much appreciated.

#STEAM FOR APPLE MAC HOW TO#

According to their database Geometry Dash runs fine in CrossOver but Fall Guys has limited functionality.įor how to run Windows games in CrossOver or Parallels on Mac I recommend this channel: Your only option is to try CrossOver or Parallels. You can still test it because sometime those warnings are false. Steam warns for it not being able to run on Catalina or Big Sur. Geometry Dash seems also be an old game from 2014 so I don't think it has 64-bit support. Fall Guys is a Windows game as far as I can see on Steam so no it won't run. Before that we could be dead by Covid or some accident so stop worrying and enjoy your games until then.Originally posted by Homy:Can't believe people don't even check their facts when they answer here and then turn the discussion into a 'Mac vs other systems' thread instead of helping OP. So come back in 2-3 years when you have facts instead of speculations and spreading doomsday prophecies. You can also as I said before keep your Mac with the last version of Rosetta 2 and macOS for games you want to keep playing so nothing will stop working, just as many people did during last transition from PowerPC to Intel.

#STEAM FOR APPLE MAC UPDATE#

Now it’s been only 4 months since the launch of M1 so Valve still has plenty of time to update Steam before Rosetta 2 is gone. Steam launched for Intel Macs in 2010, 4 years after Apple’s switch to Intel, but they updated the client to 64-bit ahead of macOS 10.14, one year before Apple dropped 32- bit support. Apple supported Rosetta 2-3 years after Adobe/Microsoft dropped their support. So if anyone is going to drop the support for Intel Macs and Rosetta too soon it’s the developers, not Apple. Adobe dropped PowerPC support in Aug 2008, about 2,5 years after the launch of Intel Macs but Apple kept supporting Rosetta for another 2,5 years. Microsoft dropped PowerPC support with Office 2011, at the same time as Apple, 5,5 years later. If not that’s Valve’s fault not Apple’s.ītw Office and Photoshop also worked from day one back in 2006 via Rosetta. So if developers are more willing and faster to adopt Apple Silicon why worry that Rosetta will be gone in 2-3 years, why would ”stuff” stop working and why Apple wouldn’t suddenly allow Steam on Macs? It’s more likely, with your own logic, that Steam would soon support M1 natively too. Then you say ”your stuff is all going to stop working in 2-3 years because Apple won’t allow Steam on new M1 Macs”? First you say that 90% of apps work on M1 on day 1 meaning that the developers are much faster to adopt Apple Silicon. Your stuff is all going to stop working in 2-3 years when Apple rips out rosettaįunny that you contradict yourself. Meaning you are not going to see a 5 year window.

Stuff now not working on M1 is an anomoaly not the norm. A person could pick up an M1 Mac and have 90% of their stuff working. Originally posted by Satoru:Rosetta1 was only supported for that long because it took YEARS to get even basic stuff like offic and Adobe to work. knowldge is a good thing in this world to have. Still hoping a dev can add there input to this conversation, love to hear what they have to say about it. cant see why steam cant follow the protcols for apples developer program to make it availbe for M1 and just have it downloable on the mac app store so it solves the sandbox problem. Im still cloudy about the whole Apple wont let steam on there M1 macs. I know apple, and they are one to be greedy and sabatoage another to take the lead themselves, and if they kill off mac gaming for steam then they can open tehre doors to developer's on the apple arcade and collect all the sub profits every month.Īlso just bc no games are compiled in ARM yet doesn't mean that wont be.? a lot of developers out there have already made ARM version for there software, i mean windows even has a ARM version. i feel there is more detail to this thans being said. So your saying that Apple won't let steam on the new macs bc there sandboxes. Well this is the kinda of explanation and detail i want from VALVe, this really helps me and other understands the hard cold facts and no what if's.
