Despite software updates and AI taking center stage at its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) this year, Apple didn’t forget about video games. In fact, it announced its largest slate of titles coming to macOS to date.

On Monday, we reported that more Resident Evil games were on their way to Mac, including Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and the Resident Evil 2 remake (the latter is still in development; the former is now available for preorder).
