All about Gaming on Apple Silicon by Mac Gamers for Mac Gamers.

I've had a few comments asking how to install The Sims 4 on the MacBook Air - the solution is super simple and will take seconds! I am considering buying the new MacBook Air M1 too! I have a really old MacBook pro mid2014 and really want to upgrade. Since the Sims 4 is a pretty heavy game and the new MacBook air does not have a cooler, do you think that the fact that it gets warmer will influence the insides?

So I have a bit of a problem here, or rather my girlfriend does. She upgraded her poor old laptop for the new M1 Air, her old pc was an old windows laptop. She bought Sims 4 on Steam plus a ton of the dlcs. The problem is she cannot get the game installed. She tried installing Steam with Crossove.

💻 M1: MacBook Pro 13' 8GB	yes	Rosetta 2	2560 × 1600	Medium settings	Runs at high settings for 1 hour with an average temperature of 40.1° (fan-less). Smooth gaming experience compared to when using MacBook Pro 13' w Touch bar (mid-2017), but travelling to different places might suddenly slow down the loading process which eventually returns to normal or faster. Note that it might crash from time to time (see notes) Gameplay about 2 hours, crashes 3 times which makes the computer non-responsive. Force shut down the computer or wait for the computer to come back (takes a few minutes).	Origin

Diablo 3 can run on M1 Macs via Rosetta 2.

Diablo 3 is an action RPG from Blizzard. But more than that, it’s the latest entry in the genre-defining Diablo series.

Diablo practically invented loot-based games and Diablo 3 further perfected the addictive formula of hacking and slashing your way to more and better loot.

Diablo 3 on Mac Reviews

Developed by Blizzard, Diablo 3 is yet another example of a Mac port done right. Just like World of Warcraft and Hearthstone, Diablo 3 on Mac features everything the Windows version does. And includes cross-platform multiplayer and Metal support.

Bottom line: If you’re even remotely interested in action-RPGs or looter-based games, you simply owed it yourself to give Diablo 3 a shot:

Diablo 3 M1 Mac support

We tested the game on our M1 Macs and can confirm Apple Silicon Macs can perfectly run Diablo 3, even better than Intel Macs.

Last Updated: July 7, 2021:

Blizzard was quick to implement the Metal API early on, but unfortunately, they haven’t been as quick to implement native M1 support. Still, thanks to Rosetta 2, Diablo 3 runs great on M1 Macs, even the game is still coded for Intel Macs.

What is Rosetta 2? Rosetta 2 is a translation process that enables an M1 Mac with Apple silicon to use apps built for Intel-based Macs.

Diablo 3 M1 Mac benchmarks

These are the Diablo 3 M1 benchmarks we have gathered so far. Notice we had to use the in-game FPS counter to evaluate performance levels (more of that below):

As a reminder, this is how we describe the different levels of performance:

Below 20 FPS: Unplayable: Laggy gameplay, full of stutters and slowdowns.
20-30 FPS: Borderline: Can be OK in slow-paced games. Still, not optimal.
30-45 FPS: Playable: Acceptable for most (most gaming consoles do this).
45-60 FPS: Smooth: Fluid gameplay, with no perceivable stutters.
60+ FPS: Very Smooth: For hardcore and professional players, a luxury for most.

We usually aim for 30 FPS, because 30 FPS is enough to guarantee a smooth and fluid experience for most casual gamers.

How to view FPS in Diablo 3?

Diablo 3 is one of those games that can show you Frames Per Second (FPS) by simply pressing Control + R. This will allow you to reliably test different settings and resolutions combinations.

Tested versions:

MacBook Air: MacOS Big Sur version 11.1
OS: macOS Big Sur version 11.4
Diablo 3: 2.7.0 (74291)
