#TERRARIA MAC M1 PRO#

Had an iPad Pro 12.9 inch 2ng gen, but sold that last week, no longer have a need for it (frustrated when having to type stuff on it and so I always ended up doing it the MBP anyway). I’ve had my M1 Mac for about six months now, and as a writer, I don’t do anything on a daily basis that challenges it.Ī few weeks ago, I decided to give gaming on M1 Mac a serious shot.I currently have a 27 inch iMac i5 (2017 model), a 2015 Macbook Pro i7 and an iPhone 8 Plus. Plus, I love playing video games, and since a PS5 isn’t going to arrive on my doorstep anytime soon, I wanted to see if I could treat my M1 Mac like a serious gaming machine. Part of the inspiration for this article came from Apple itself. If the person in the ad can do it, why not me? During the M1 iMac announcement, it showed people successfully playing games like Shadow Of The Tomb Raider (which we’ll be reviewing). In the past three weeks, I tested six different games. And I didn’t just play through the beginning levels. I logged at least ten hours on each of these games. It was a lot of fun and, surprisingly, a lot of frustration. But I’ll get into both of those points later in the post.įor reference, I am running all of these games on a yellow M1 iMac with 1TB of storage and 8GB of memory/RAM. So you can consider this a very basic gaming on an M1 Mac experience. I don’t have any of the recent M1 upgrades (like M1 Max) nor do I have anything more than the basic amount of RAM. I feel it’s also worth pointing out that this is my first time gaming on a computer instead of a console, so there may be things that I complain about that aren’t exclusive to Mac. There were a lot of issues with getting controllers to work, games not loading, etc.

#Crossover mac m1 steam Pcīut after watching gamers on Twitch, I think this is part of the PC gaming experience. The only prior experience I have with gaming on a computer is Terraria on my old 2017 MacBook, and it lagged so bad I gave up trying to play.

I’m going to try to cover everything in this post, starting with the games I tested. My initial goal was to test huge, recent AAA games like Elden Ring, Halo, Cyberpunk, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc.

Most of these games are not available on Mac.

I am a bit out of touch and not at all familiar with the current AAA gaming sceneįor these reasons, I ended up playing games that are a bit more dated than I would have liked.

#Crossover mac m1 steam macīut don’t worry – these games did push the boundaries of what my Mac was capable of (yep, it went about that well). Also, I didn’t want to play a bunch of games I knew nothing about for fear that might skew my review a bit. So most of these games are ones that I’ve already been playing for years on a console.įirst up is Minecraft. I picked Minecraft because it’s essentially today’s Mario. Everyone has played it, everyone is familiar with it, and it’s a pretty simple game. Now, I expected Minecraft to run flawlessly while gaming on an M1 Mac. But I actually had some issues, specifically with rendering distant objects.
