    There are a few games that comes with the native Apple Silicon binary already on Steam. But Steam itself is not native. Some games need to launch the native ARM for Apple binary through the files, others can already run through the client.

    I found this list with some games: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43489522-Native-Apple-Silicon/ I don't know how frequently it is updated.

  • Death Stranding has a native version of the game for macOS with Arm chips that you can buy from the Apple Store. Here are a few benchmarks on how it runs: - MacBook Air M1 8GB: https://youtu.be/Pf4bCpR99kg - MacBook Air M2 16GB: https://youtu.be/uzSFsTuktEs - MacBook Air M3 24GB: https://youtu.be/7X1KrqiR6Rk I wish I had found the tests on the 8GB versions of all the chips, but I couldn't. The thing is, even though the game is already ported and running very well on these chips, they do not sell it on more popular (and useful) stores like Steam, Epic and GOG. I have the game on Epic (it was free) and have played through on my Linux desktop computer running Fedora. I wanted to buy the game to play on my MacBook Air M3 while traveling and because is lighter, but I really don't want to buy it on the Apple Store and not be able to play on other platforms later. I believe they should release this version on other stores, even if it's needed to buy it again.

    It's so rare for me that it's always welcomed with open arms.

    I used to clear my mind when running. Unfortunately I can't do it anymore due to disabilities.

    I hope I can get back to running after more surgeries.

    Some time ago I was involved with GNOME applications and they use it. I have used Discord only for game chatting. So I guess we all need to create servers for our friends to join.
