Wwdc 2025 Almost here, and you can follow all our last-final rumors Wwdc liveblogBut I have also found a final-minute prediction to slide below the wire-or more accurately, an anti-ancestor, because one thing that I am practically assured that we are not getting AppleIt is a big event.
Gaming material, where is Apple? It seems that every few years, you take a big swing in gaming arena – such as Apple Arcade, The New Metal 3 Developer Kit, or, Uh … Death Four years late coming to MacoS? – But clearly, it seems to be like one later.
Let me be clear about this: Sports industry is more value than music and film industries JointDo you like money, right, apple? Here is a deep well of unused capacity, but I am afraid that it is going to take more than a handful of Triple-A title for Mac. Oh, and you might not be Trying to stop one of the world’s most popular sports from being played on your hardware,
Apple and Gaming: Oil and Water?
This is a strange thing; Apple products are everywhere, seem to be universal iPhone Best MacBook and MacHell, Apple McBook Air does a great thing about Air being the ‘world’s best -selling laptop’ (a required for this claim Little Fuuding of data to do the right ring, but I will give it to Apple only once).
But despite the large-scale van diagram overlap between Apple users and gamers, the company seems to be largely indifferent to advancing gaming as a major feature of its products.
And they are products Completely enabled for gamingNew M4 Chips – Which can be found in the latest 2025 MacBook AirBetween other products – there are really many animals. Even Old M2 chip offered some commendable performance In recent gaming tests of our own Rolland Moore-Callear. Hardware is not a problem here.
So, is perhaps a software issue? This is a reasonable claim: Macos is not Operating system The choice of most non-console gamers, the most recent user with Windows is a huge 95.45% share for 95.45% Steam hardware surveyMost divide between Windows 10 and 11. For comparison, all combined MACOS versions up to 1.85%in total.
It is difficult to deny that gamers do not only look at MacoS as a viable platform for gaming, and by extensions, developers do not see McOS as a viable platform to develop games. But here is the case: this is Apple’s fault.
Make a commitment
See, for all its defects, Microsoft Never got away from gaming space. Xbox 360 was one of the most prestigious console of recent decades, the fast popular game pass is now available in the console And PC, and Microsoft have long included gaming-related features in Windows. Hell, the company also laid down its fingers in the game development pie, hooked many small Dev teams with the Xbox game studio for years.
This is what Apple needs to do, if it is any design to make itself relevant within the gaming market. My dear colleague Yashaya Williams said that Apple should make a gaming handheld At the beginning of this year – and when I agree, I don’t think it will solve the problem. People want to play any amount of new hardware on Apple products; The excellent gaming performance of the M4 chip proves clearly.
I have said it before, and I would say it again: what to do to Apple Let’s actually make games. You are running one of the world’s richest companies here, Tim CookBehind an established Dev Studio, make a MACOS game publishing division, and distribute the killer apps that make gamers. want To buy a Mac. If Apple wants people to believe that it is serious about gaming, then we need to see big titles in a day when coming to Mac – or better yet, completely exclusive.
We are not going to get this commitment WWDC 2025, I have zero doubt. Perhaps Cyberpank 2077 In the end it will get a long -awaited Mac release (after that it came Nintendo switch 2), But it is all about that I am expecting here. I am not losing hope, though. It is never late to invest your money, where you have a mouth, Tim. I am sure we may lose some Apple TV origin.
