New Death Stranding will be optimized for new gaming features in macOS Sonoma

At the WWDC 2023, Apple unveiled several new features and improvements coming in macOS Sonoma to enhance users’ gaming experience on the Mac. The new changes include:

  • Metal 3: A major update to Apple’s graphics API that promises to deliver up to 10x faster performance than Metal 2. This will allow games to run at higher resolutions and frame rates, and it will also make it possible for developers to create more demanding games.
  • Game mode: A new feature in macOS Sonoma that prioritize a game’s access to CPU and GPU resources, as well as reduces audio latency for AirPods and input latency for Bluetooth controllers to significantly improve performance and reduce lag, making games feel smoother and more responsive.
  • Game Center: A new gaming hub that will allow players to connect with friends, find new games, and track their progress. Game Center will also feature a number of new social features, such as the ability to send messages to friends, challenge them to games, and compare scores.
  • New games: Apple announced a number of new games coming to Mac, including Resident Evil Village, No Man’s Sky, and Baldur’s Gate 3. These are all popular games that have been released on other platforms.

These new features and games are a sign that Apple is serious about making Mac a more gaming-friendly platform. With Metal 3, Game Center, and a growing library of games, Mac is becoming a more viable option for gamers. And part of that commitment is the release of Death Stranding: Director’s Cut on macOS in late 2023.

The macOS edition of Death Stranding: Director’s Cut will be a rendition of the game’s 2019 original version

Kojima Productions announced that they will be releasing Death Stranding: Director’s Cut for macOS and iOS devices. This edition of Death Stranding is the definitive version of the game that was originally released for PlayStation 4 back in 2019, but with new missions, more boss fights, updated combat mechanics, and activities like racing and a shooting range.

Furthermore, Director’s Cut for macOS will also feature a number of visual and performance improvements like the following:

  • New story missions: The Director’s Cut adds new story missions that expand on the game’s lore.
  • New gameplay features: The Director’s Cut adds new gameplay features, such as a racing mode, a shooting range, and new boss fights.
  • Visual and performance improvements: The Director’s Cut features visual and performance improvements, such as improved graphics, higher frame rates, and support for HDR.

On Mac, the game will make full use of Metal 3 features like MetalFX Upscaling, allowing for unbeatable graphical fidelity and amazing performance. It will also include a HIGH FRAME RATE, PHOTO MODE, and cross-over content from Valve Corporation’s HALF-LIFE series and CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077.

Kojima said that Death Stranding’s arrival on Mac is “just the beginning” of Kojima Productions’ work on Apple platforms. He also said that he is a “die-hard Apple fan” and that he has been wanting to bring his games to Mac for a long time.
