Mac M1 Games: Native & Rosetta 2 supported games

The new ARM-based Macs, also known as M1 Macs, are a big deal, especially for gaming.

Early on, tech experts predicted that M1 Macs with silicon processors could perhaps become powerful enough to save Mac gaming. But they warned it could take years.

Yet here we are, and M1 Macs are already blowing us away with their incredible gaming performance compared to Intel Macs.

As more and more games get M1 support every day, either natively or via Rosetta 2, this page will too keep growing to help you track M1 compatibility and gaming performance.

Native Mac M1 games

Native M1 games are games that have been written for ARM-based processors. These are the apps and games that will deliver the biggest jump in performance compared to Intel-powered Macs.

Unfortunately, the list of native M1 games is still small, with only 2 games that officially support Apple M1 processors. Disco Elysium and World of Warcraft.

More games will definitely make the jump and you can rest assured we will track them and include them on this list.

How to check if a game is Intel or M1 Native?

If you’re wondering whether a game you play has native M1 support or not, this is how you can check for yourself:

Find the Game using the Finder
Left-click it
Select “Show info”

Native M1 games will be identified as “Universal” (unlike Intel games that will be identified as “Intel”)

Rosetta 2 games

The list of native M1 games may be small right now, but Apple did a terrific job with Rosetta 2. With Rosetta 2, your M1 Mac is able to translate any Intel app or game and make it compatible with ARM machines. Technically, every game that works on Intel Macs should be able to run on M1 Macs thanks to Rosetta 2.

And this works generally great, except for a few cases in which the game will crash, run poorly or simply not run at all. For that reason, our Compatibility list above is tracking Rosetta 2 support separately.

Submit & Request results

Our compatibility list will continue to work but we need your help to grow it faster!
