    I never play on Mac M1, should I? I have a ps5, how would performance compare to that? If m1 might actually have comparable performance I might need to get into it and have games streamed using steamlink to my tv.

      I can’t imagine anyone buying a Mac specifically for gaming. Anyone who’s into gaming will be on windows, but if you’re not super into it or it’s simply more convenient to play on a MacBook it’s definitely nice to have.

      Currently it doesn’t really matter how good performance is on a mac there are very few games supported. This will probably change in the future with the new game porting toolkit tho.

      Mac is pretty far behind Windows and Linux in terms of gaming. But there are signs that Apple is slowly waking up on that front.

      Whether you want to play it on Mac or PS5 imo primarily comes down to whether you want to play with a controller or a M+KB

      Steam will refund you as long as you’ve played for less than a couple of hours, so there’s no harm in buying the game and doing a little test before committing one way or the other.
