Apple’s latest Games app was a highlight of this year’s WWDC, marking a strong initiative towards enhancing gaming on Mac. The app features impressive graphics upgrades and promises a selection of new titles, some of which may actually arrive as scheduled. During the keynote on Monday, Apple showcased the new app, Apple Games, designed to serve as a comprehensive hub for gaming across its devices.
It will include titles from Apple Arcade as well as third-party games. Additionally, the app introduces a new Play Together feature and boasts a dedicated Library tab for easier navigation. Another significant announcement was made regarding macOS Tahoe, which will include Metal 4.
This upgrade aims to enhance the gaming experience with advanced graphics capabilities and improved rendering technologies, such as MetalFX Frame Interpolation and MetalFX Denoising. These advancements promise smoother visuals and quicker frame rates, catering to gamers’ desire for high-quality performance. Apple also revealed a lineup of games slated for macOS Tahoe, including noteworthy titles such as Crimson Desert, Cyberpunk 2077, and HITMAN World of Assassination.
However, this list does not encompass all upcoming games. Notably, *Sniper Elite 5* is expected to debut on Mac, iPhone, and iPad in early 2026. Interestingly, *Dead Island 2* made another appearance in the WWDC Games hype graphic for the second consecutive year, yet it still lacks a confirmed release date.
Meanwhile, *Cyberpunk 2077* remains absent from announcements. Additionally, the extraction looter-shooter game *Escape from Duckov* is also on its way to both the Mac App Store and Steam, though its release date has yet to be specified.
