The power of Apple silicon helps every new Mac to run AAA games without any hassle, including upcoming titles EA’s GRID Legends. The latest version of the software, Metal 3, provides new features that take the gaming experience on Mac to new heights and unlocks the full potential of Apple silicon. From Apple’s press release:

Metal 3, the latest version of the software that powers the gaming experience across Apple platforms, introduces new features that take the gaming experience on Mac to new heights and unleash the full potential of Apple silicon for years to come. MetalFX Upscaling enables developers to quickly render complex scenes by using less compute-intensive frames, and then apply resolution scaling and temporal anti-aliasing. The result is accelerated performance that provides gamers with a more responsive feel and graphics that look stunning. Game developers also benefit from a new Fast Resource Loading API that minimizes wait time by providing a more direct path from storage to the GPU, so games can easily access high-quality textures and geometry needed to create expansive worlds for realistic and immersive gameplay.

This leaves us with curiosity, about what other famous and upcoming titles can Apple bring over to its ever-evolving ecosystem.
