Apple is still cooking well. The fact that this runs at all on an ARM chip on a fanless laptop designed for the most casual use is a monumental achievement. Thanks for the video, you're doing great work!

I mean, it's an achievement but realistically it means nothing. If you wanted to game, either cloud gaming, an iPad or a Windows (ARM) machine would be best. And for those who argue that it's for them who wants to do a bit of gaming, a bit of gaming for the average person doesn't mean installing a paid software product that you must go out of your way to get.

Great video, you have done a lot of work. I would notice the main problem with gaming on MacBook Air is heating. That's why I did thermal pad mod with my mba (24gb) and I'm also using svalt with fan (lowest speed, zero noise), it allows me to play Remnant 2 with 1080p, medium quality, balanced performance and the game looks great. Without all of this after 20 minutes in the game I could play only with potato quality and ultra performance upscaler...

Wow I had no idea how much of a difference there was between the M3 and the M3 Pro chips. My M3 Pro MBP runs games like Elden Ring perfectly fine at 50-60fps at 1080p Medium. Crazy you have to turn it down to 540p lowest to get less framerate on the M3. Edit - Also just for anyone reading this, Zenless Zone Zero runs perfectly at max settings at full native resolution through Playcover since it's running natively rather than through translation layers. Of course this video is testing GPTK2 though, so its still cool to see the Windows version running on Crossover.

I think if that happens, Wine project will have a lot of work to do. GPTK, Crossover, Whisky and all the similar solutions use Wine as backend, which provides translations from Windows API calls to POSIX (Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, etcs) API calls, and due to the low-level nature of the project, existing Wine will not just run as-is for Windows ARM applications. That being said, it seems like the Wine team is working on ARM version of Wine. It might take some time but I hope it will eventually get there.

My first Macbook was 2013 Macbook Air 11" and it couldn't run any game considered "contemporary" or "new" at the time. Only exception was I think Portal 2 (2011) and that was about it? Even older titles like Mirror's Edge (2008) had a hard time running on Macbook Air (through Wine, but still) Now my Macbook Pro 2021 with M1 Max runs newest AAA titles made for x86 Windows with relatively high graphics settings, even though it has an entirely different ISA and has to translate multiple layers. (Albeit with some glitches but GPTK2 seems to fix a lot of them too) AND Big game studios are actually making Apple ports once again. Mac gaming has really come far. + I bought Control with the intention of waiting until Mac port drops on Steam, but I just got through the whole game through Crossover. It runs flawlessly and it's a great game!

Amazing video, thank you for reviewing all these games. Love seeing a growning gaming community in Mac. I use Crossover + M2 Max 32GB and I can play most of these games in Medium quality and "acceptable" resolution. In one hand, is outstanding all the work made to achive windows apps to run so good in a different architecture. In the another, when playing the same game natively, I can play it in Ultra quality!. I wish Apple would consider investing more in bringing more native games. Of course, spending more than $2500 for just playing AAA games, it is not good investment 😅
