| > That won't get the top 10 Steam games running on MacOS. Top 10 Steam games according to https://store.steampowered.com/stats/ * New World - Amazon Lumberyard * Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - Source * Dota 2 - Source 2 * Team Fortress 2 - Source * Apex Legends - Source * PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS - Unreal * Destiny 2 - Custom * Rust - Unity * Dead by Daylight - Unreal * MIR4 - Unreal Unreal, Unity, Lumberyard, and Source 2 all support iOS and thus Metal on ARM already. A game developer using one of those engines should generally be able to just click a few buttons to target an additional platform unless they've gone around the engine's framework in ways that tie their title to their existing platform(s). Obviously in all but the most trivial cases there will still be work to be done, but those game developers using a major commercial engine are doing so because someone else has already done most of the hardest work in platform support for them. That means six of the top 10 could add native MacOS support with relative ease (as in significantly less work than doing it from scratch) if they wanted to. The three Source titles are likely stuck on DX/OGL platforms forever because it doesn't really make sense to rework such an old engine, but at least the two Valve in-house titles have had persistent rumors of a Source 2 update for years. |
