The most important revelations for gamers from Apple WWDC2023
When most gamers imagine the best systems to play their games on, PlayStation consoles or PCs immediately come to mind. Almost never, however, do we think, “a MacBook.” Gamers seek out features and capabilities necessary to run current titles, and Apple's MacBook line up, for the most part, has always been considered productivity focused -- catering more to work, creative and academic activity.
Apple has been working to change that perception, and the company has made significant progress in recent years, improving performance on its hardware thanks to its investment in powerful Apple Silicon chips.
Today at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2023), Apple further solidified its push to capture the attention of gamers, making some significant announcements including integrations with other platforms as well as a sleek, new AR/VR headset.
Let's take a look at what gamers must know about Apple's updates!
Apple Gaming
The latest version of Apple's operating system, macOS 14 Sonoma, introduces a new Game Mode specifically designed to optimize CPU and GPU performance in games.
The new Game Mode automatically adjusts the computer's settings to ensure optimal performance in Mac games. This mode prioritizes CPU and GPU usage to achieve greater frame rate stability. The Bluetooth sampling frequency has also been doubled to enhance compatibility with PlayStation and Xbox controllers.
To facilitate the adaptation of PC games to Mac, a new Game Portability Toolkit has been unveiled for developers. This toolkit simplifies the process of converting shaders and graphics code to the Metal API, significantly reducing the time required to adapt games to the Mac platform, meaning Mac gamers can get the latest titles faster.
