I thought this was a joke piece. I almost can’t believe this is real.

Hopefully that means Apple works with Steam to make a temporary Game Porting Toolkit native mod until developers decide to update their applications.

OMG that would be wonderful! I don’t see the business case from Apple’s end, though. I imagine they’re somewhere between unconcerned to gleefully embracing that Mac gaming should pass through the App Store and leave residues in their pockets… 

At least for an initial run, it gives Apple a bigger name in the gaming space, especially if Apple does include the Mac equivalent to PCVR, which looks like it wasn’t mentioned here in AI, but UploadVR made an article about it (https://www.uploadvr.com/macos-spatial-rendering-announced-wwdc25/). If Apple decides to improve spatial rendering, we might be looking at a headset that overtakes many big players like Varjo (or at least takes some of their market).

I sound like a broken record, but I am still hoping for that Gen 4 Apple TV 4K. 8 years running on the 1st Gen 4K has heavily shown its age between load times and connectivity. Don’t get me wrong, it is still a great device, but I am hoping this AI craze pushes Apple to release a high-performance version, making this a good home device and maybe a mini gaming console.

I have a friend who didn’t even know her phone needed to update until one day a month ago. I was helping her, and I noticed that Control Center was still from iOS 17. I went to Settings and saw Auto Update was on, but it never decided to update even with a ton of free storage available. I manually updated it for her, but imagine how many people think their device is up to date until they one day check their settings. Also was part of the reason why some apps were not working properly.
