Apple unveiled (finally) the design of its Apple Vision Pro glasses, along with some details such as its price of 3,499 dollars. Also, we got to see the past WWDC2023 news both in hardware and a preview of what will bring us the new operating systems for different Apple devices, including Macs with the new macOS Sonoma. Among the novelties of macOS Sonoma was also a tool that will delight players who have a Mac, called Apple Game Porting Toolkit.
This tool, GPT, is capable of emulate the APIs popular for games on Windows, such as DirectX 11 and 12, similar to Wine. This will bring games to macs, in addition to those announced natively such as Resident Evil Village or No Man’s Sky. Since this tool has been made available to developers, Reddit has been filled with videos where is seen running games like Cyberpunk 2077, Diablo 4 or Hogwarts Legacy on Mac computers with Apple M1 or M2 processors.
But unfortunately this tool is not magic and some games will need tweaking to get optimization that allows it to function smoothly in the next operating system of the Apple company. Even so, we are facing a great advance to bring the games to macOS, something that many of the users of its products will surely appreciate.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write at Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the 20+ consoles I own, in addition to the PC.
