22 cores, 100gb RAM allocated. Runs amazingly. Stutters a little bit at the start of the game though but runs well after.

NETWORK TEST. CrossOver only uses half of everything on Ultra chips. Runs amazingly with little to no stutter with online working perfectly.

Runs pretty well all things considered. There is mod support on the Windows version (BepinEX is unsupported on arm64) so it's superior if you have a fast enough Mac.

Kernel Level Anti-Cheat (supposedly). Will crash immediately on launch.

Lacking performance though. Not the most optimized game out there.

Allocated 24 cores, 100gb of RAM . Actually, it seems to run better here than the Native Version oh and better mod support. Works well even on lower end devices.

Allocated 20 core, 100gb RAM. Max Graphics with MMod. Runs great even on lower spec Macs. Runs just as well here as the Native with slight stutter and Mod Support!

This game is super unstable after you place a lot of people no matter how good your Mac is so no 10 thousand mammoths for you!

Runs amazingly. Should work on any Apple Silicon Mac.

This also applies to the M3 Max chips as CrossOver only uses half of the M3 Ultra. Stuttering of course but not as bad as the M2.

Runs great. Slight stuttering here and there. Voices in cutscenes are so low that it's basically mute sadly since the last few versions broke it.

It can run at 120 if you wanted to but it runs much more smooth capped at 60. Runs with no issues as if it's native.

Well, it's alright I guess. CrossOver only uses half of everything to it runs alright. Ultra-Medium settings since it is 1440p.

Runs pretty well all things considered. NO METALFX.

Drops to 50 during driving at times although it has some stutters as well when moving the camera too fast. 256GB of RAM

Considering the framerate. Pretty good to be honest especially since it's OpenGL I think.

Ultra + Ray Tracing (Just the base one). Runs really well. You can get away without Framegen or upscaling on this Mac.

Extreme Settings. Vsync Off.

Ultra settings (no raytracing) MetalFX Quality. No FrameGen. 144hz monitor. Runs pretty good but questionable overall.

Using Source Leak. Slightly broken. Didn't go through the entire game natively so I'm unsure if it's completable. Please use Parallels instead.

I set the cap to 60. MetalFX set to Balanced. Performance is great until you load a new level where it's 20-30 then jumps back to 50-60 after a while.

This runs good since it is one of the only 64-bit Source games that Valve released. This goes for Half-Life Deathmatch Source as well.

Runs great. Only tested it offline though so unsure of the performance online. Should be great though. Source games (32-bit ones) are better on Parallels.

Runs extremely well of course considering it's a Mod for a 1998 game. This is not yet released and only this demo is available.

Framerate Limit at 60, MetalFX set to Balanced, Frame Generation Enabled (AMD). Benchmark runs at 60-70 despite the framerate cap. Runs great.

Runs great! Since this mod is 64-bit unlike regular Portal 2, it runs better on CrossOver than Parallels. It is the only mod currently 64-bit except for Portal 2 Community Edition which isn't out yet made by the same team.

You have to use the x86-64 beta to run this and the GModCEFCodecFix. It runs perfectly with all addons working. You might have to compile the fix yourself since it tends to be outdated (the current releases but it is still being updated don't worry)

Just like Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6, this runs well although is kinda dead unless there is a big event.

USING RTX-LESS MOD FROM MODDB. You can run this (the Original + RTX-LESS both from Moddb) by putting it into the sourcemod folder. You might need to extract the .vpk in the mod folders by GCFScape via CrossOver

Runs great and looks good. Nothing else to say here. If you try to make this work with the native version leak for Mac, it's broken so this is the only way to reliably play this Mod.

Runs pretty good with Hl2 MMod as well. More stuttering the Half-Life 2 but still great experience and has less bugs than configuring it to work with the native Half-Life 2 version.

Runs really great at high settings + Hl2 MMod. Better than Crossover but performance is not as good as the Native version. This does support mods better though and is the 20th Anniversary Version so this is better.

Runs great although the UI can be pretty bugged at times. Use Windowed mode with no border to fix the UI disappearing now and then.

Runs very well. Constant 60 with very slight stutters. Loading the game for the first time does have more stuttering but your next launch should have less. Also has slightly longer loading times than Crossover but the frame rate is much better.

Not supported, no DX12 support on Parallels.

Best way by far to play Opposing Force. Runs much better at times than Xash 3D, better mod support, better textures (Not even the HD pack!)

Best way by far to play Blue Shift. Runs much better at times than Xash 3D, better mod support, better textures (Not even the HD pack!)

Runs well

Flickering issue. Playable kinda.

Requires the same setup as Portal minus the replacing hl2 folder. It runs great.

Runs well.

Runs extremely well online

Runs great. Controllers have issues however.

Vsync On is the best way to play this game. It never drops below 60 although it runs at an average of 100-120 without Vsync but it just feels more smooth at locked 60.

Not the best performing game for how it looks like but it does run pretty alright.

Runs great

Runs extremely well

Runs great with no frame drops.

Runs pretty well. Definitely playable although loading screens are pretty long.

Stuttering even with differences with your settings by lowering it. Playable for sure but you need to switch to Default Sync

Runs really well despite it looking like a intensive game

Using the Doom64Ex source port. Better to run it this way than Crossover but if you don't want to set this up, you can just use Crossover.

Runs great although you have to downgrade to the 0.89 version as the macsourceport does not support 0.9

32-bit only

Runs great

Game works great! The Sith restored content mod also works by installing it via Crossover (to the native version) since the asset files are the same in the Mac and windows version of the game.

At the highest resolution, it runs at 60 although it might feel sluggish due to how this game was made in the first place. Runs great and is mod compatible although you need to lower your refresh rate to get into fullscreen and lower your resolution as well so the image doesn't get stretched since the widescreen mod is not supported.

Not the best performing game on Mac but definitely playable with at least 16gb of RAM

Runs great via the source engine leak.

Runs great using the DaggerfallUnity port from macsourceports

Runs great really. Servers are not as populated any more. Don't suggest playing this game anymore.

I mean what did you expect? Probably runs on every single Apple Silicon Mac at least 60 fps with no frame drops.

Frame drops. Definitely playable though.

The native version runs great.

Using the Legacy CS:GO version. Quite a lot of stuttering. Definitely playable against bots but not so much online in the few servers that still exist.

Pretty heavy stuttering. Personally, I do not recommend playing Geometry Dash natively. Crossover offers better performance and more mod support through Geode than the native version of Geode on Mac.

Works with absolutely no issues. Stunning game but wierd voice acting. Definitely recommend playing this game

DO NOT USE THE STEAM VERSION, IT IS BROKEN. USE THE WEBSITE

Runs smoothly with no issues. Underrated game.

Runs beautifully on basically every single M-series Mac. Definitely recommend playing this game.

No longer runs and crashes at launch as of macOS Sequoia 15.4

I just made everything max. This game is from 1998 and the source version works entirely when using the Xash3D FWGS from macsourceports. Runs via the same method as Half-Life (base)

Heavy stuttering when I played at Medium or High Settings. At Low settings, it runs great with a stable 60

Cutscene Voices are barely audible. Rest of the game performs well except for SUPER intensive sections where it drops to 40.

Game runs beautifully. Does require some setup but it's worth it. Check the Half-Life 2 Page of AppleGamingWiki to set it up. Half-Life Episode 1 & 2 can be run also. Lost Coast also works.

The game runs alright but not the best. It runs the best at the overall quality set to low. The game for some reason has issues at least for me in fullscreen mode so I have to play in windowed mode

Minecraft Launcher does not work

ECWolf from MacSourcePorts

Does not launch

Runs really smooth. You can really turn up the settings on this one. Alternatively, you can play the Switch version using Ryubing.

Runs smoothly

Apple Arcade

Game has been recently remove from Apple Arcade. Steam version exists but I ran the Apple Arcade version instead since I ran it before it was removed.

iOS version using Playcover works well.

Can go to 60 at times.

Performance is fine. Definitely playable. More things in your park can lag the game though.

Runs basically the same performance as the original superhot

NOT WORLD OF ASSASSINATION. Since there is no page for Hitman 1, I have to put this here. You can get a steam key. Buy WoA instead if you have a 16gb Mac.

Plays at 90 but drops frame drops quite a few times.

Runs amazing until you spawn 50 mammoths but that is expected.

Runs great. Parallels is much more simple to setup for this game than Crossover.

Works great. Crossover needs configuring but on Parallels, you don't need to.

Same issues as United Forever. Crazy stuttering.

Works great with little to no stuttering.

DXVK seems to break the game? Stuttering problems which is why you have to turn down the graphics to lessen the stuttering. Works still good though.

Not the Definitive Edition. The reVC sourceport works great on Mac

Not the Definitive Edition. The re3 sourceport works great on Mac

Sourceport works great. From macsourceports.

Both source ports for Doom 3 or the BFG edition work great. From macsourceports.

I'm amazed how optimized this game is.

The one I ran is neither the steam version or the battle version at all. The Dreamcast version is superior and is great under Flycast or ReDream.

Native port for Sonic Mania Plus from macsourceports

Runs terrible

Configure the settings before playing. This game just simply doesn't run that well but definitely playable to the end.

It just simply runs great. Outdated control schemes though so I'd suggest fixing that before playing this game.

Basically unplayable actually. Stuttering way too much. Play using Parallels instead.

Really good especially since you are running an old game that is 32bit. The game has some stuttering sometimes but only like once in a hour.

Amazing performance using FSR 2. This game is a must buy for 16gb Macs. Run with peacock patcher in Crossover and patch mods through Simple Mod Framework (requires Parallels or VMWare).

I just made everything max. This game is from 1998 and the source version works entirely when using the Xash3D FWGS for Mac source port. It just works great ofc.

Definitely good performance. Peak is at 80 fps. High settings give better fps or just slightly less fps but using Ultra, although playable for sure and similar fps, makes you need to load some parts of the city.
