In the past only the most expensive Macs offered the discrete graphics necessary for gaming. Also the fact that upgrading a Mac to meet the requirements of a graphically-demanding modern game is pretty much a no-no makes Macs the least future proof option for gamers (who often like to be able to tinkle with their computers to build the ideal machine for their purpose).īut Macs have become a much better choice for gaming enthusiasts with the advent of Apple’s first M1 Macs in 2020, the subsequent M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra, and now the M2, M2 Pro and M2 Max.
There are Macs that can play games well, but they are generally much more expensive than the equivalent PC.
Traditionally the Mac hasn’t been considered a great choice for gaming. You'll find Asphalt 9: Legends available for download now as a free-to-play title from the App Store, Mac App Store, and Google Play.It’s something of a running joke among Windows users that Macs are rubbish for gaming. Best give Gameloft's megahit a go yourself and see where your opinion of it falls. User reviews are a little less divided, with the game holding an impressive 4.8 stars on the US App Store and 4.5 stars on Google Play. That said, ex-Ed Harry was a whole lot fonder of it than me when he reviewed the mobile originals in 2018, saying "Asphalt 9 offers controls for everyone, fun for everyone, and white-knuckle, cackling-with-laughter crashes for everyone", before awarding it a Gold Rating. I reviewed the recent Switch port of Asphalt 9: Legends back in October of last year, finding that it "serves up the glitz of a high-quality arcade racer, though its hollow core makes for an overlong, vapid experience when compared to its Switch contemporaries".
