The game was first released on for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Google Stadia.Stadia is impressive when you have all the necessary pieces working properly, but it won’t kill Xbox or PlayStation just yet. Last week, Sony announced that Resident Evil Village would also receive PlayStation VR2 support for its PlayStation 5 version. The release of Resident Evil Village on the Mac is the latest in a long line of updates and developments for the critically acclaimed horror game.

We are curious to see if and how Apple manages to convince more and more game developers to use the Mac. But with the introduction of the very strong own processors in the consumer, pro and studio devices, this should no longer be an argument. In the past, this was usually justified by the fact that Apple devices were not that widespread and were often used for professional work. Performance-wise, with the new M1 and M2 processors and the very strong integrated graphics chips, developers have actually had no reason not to implement games for macOS since the release of the first Apple Silicon chips. Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky will be one of the first games to support MetalFX Upscaling when it is also released for the Mac later this year. It will support MetalFX upscaling, which renders smaller and less intense frames and then upscales them. During the show, Apple announced new details about the Metal software that will be used in Apple products and upgraded to Metal 3. The announcement was part of a larger gaming focus at WWDC this year. But the release for Mac is being pushed back a bit.

It’s worth noting that Resident Evil Village can technically already be played on Mac devices via Google Stadia today. Typically, Mac owners have to install Windows on their devices, via Bootcamp for example, to launch games via Steam.

We welcome this development, as Apple computer owners have rarely been able to enjoy playing current games natively in the past. According to Ijuin, the game can run at 1080p on a MacBook Air M2, while a Mac Studio can support up to 4K. Masaru Ijuin, head of Capcom‘s advanced technical research department, spoke about the Mac version at WWDC. |By Redaktion During WWDC, Apple and Capcom revealed that Resident Evil Village will also be released for the Mac later this year.
