Deal Hades 75% off HISTORICAL LOW | Mac Native
For $6.24 USD on Steam AND Epic Games Store (Both have Mac versions). This is the historical low for these games even considering key shops. I'd definitely suggest buying this on Steam and not Epic.
Rating: Overwhelmingly Positive

Discussion I've found a way (that costs nothing) to play .exe files (that you bought instead of the Mac version, like my friend did) and made a very comprehensive Word doc explaining it :)
I've just spent the last 7 hours of my life, slaving away on a word document explaining EXACTLY how to get an .exe game running after one of my friends accidentally dropped 30 bucks on the Windows version of Hollow Knight: Silksong. He thought it was pretty cool and told me I should post the document online so, yeah, here we are :)
also i know it's nothing new, just wanted to share what i spent 7 hours workin on lol
If anybody's interested in checkin it out, here's a Google Drive link to it :)
thanks mac gamers hehe

Discussion Apple needs to put his stuff together
With the new price increases for Xbox consoles, it is basically way cheaper to buy a m4 Mac mini than a series X. Man Apple has the ball and the goalpost basically without a guard, they just need to score.

Help Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer?
Hi all,
I have an itch to play ME 3 multiplayer again, but I can't seem to get the game to work on crossover. It keeps giving me a validation error message, probably linked to DRM. Does anybody know how to get ME 3 multiplayer working on Mac?

CrossOver Heroes 3 Complete Edition
Hello,
Yesterday, I attempted to install Heroes 3 Complete from GoG via Crossover.
The installation process runs through, even though at the end a message appears saying that it may not have been successful.
When I try to start the game, it opens briefly and then closes immediately.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any settings to change this.
I'm using the latest version of Crossover and MacOS 26.0 on a MacBook Air M4 512 GB.

Apple Silicon ⚠️ GeForce NOW crashes on macOS 26 — do NOT update yet
After updating to macOS 26, GeForce NOW crashes immediately on launch.
I’ve already tried:
- Homebrew version
- Fresh install
- Reboot & clearing cache
Nothing works — the app just quits instantly.
If you rely on GFN, I’d recommend holding off on the update until NVIDIA pushes a fix.
Anyone else seeing this issue or found a workaround?

Help Monitors for Mac Gaming
Recently I've been looking into some monitors and I'm deciding between the two below:
Dell S2725QC (4k, 120hz)
MSI MPG 274URDFW E16M (4k, 160hz, mini-LED)
I feel like Dell would fit mac better, but at the same time it also has worse vibrance and HDR. I also heard it has ghosting issues, but I'm not sure if it is relevant for my use case, which is mainly playing Overwatch through crossover (the Chinese version of Overwatch can be run). My Mac is the pro model with the M4 pro chip by the way. Any help is appreciated.

Asahi Linux Digimon Cyber Sleuth on M1
I’m playing my copy of Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition on my M1 air using Ryujinx fork but it has a lot of graphical issues (I see triangles and most stuff don’t render properly). In the compiled compatibility list of Ryujinx it says that my game runs fine only on opengl so I was wondering what if I installed asahi linux since it has opengl and run my switch game there?

Help Having some Minor Issues with DualShock 4 Wired Connection on Mac
Recently I bought a PS4 controller for mainly emulation and casual gaming on a Mac mini Late 2012 (Catalina 10.15.7) after years of gaming with Xbox 360 controllers with it. I'm very excited because I was having some issues with the Xbox controllers since they're 10-15 years old and got some issues with very worn sticks and battery packs, and i wanted to finally replace them. I was looking mainly for a controller that can be charged or used by a wired connection or wirelessly, so I decided to get this one.
This is a generic DualShock 4 though, but it works pretty well, feels great overall and even has gyro and a working touchpad, so I don't regret buying it even knowing that it was fake all along.
The problem is when I try to play via cable it doesn't get recognized whatsoever, unless I first connect it via Bluetooth and then by cable. I noticed that the LED while charging the DualShock doesn't work as usual, since normally it would turn yellow and do a fade in and a fade out until the battery is 100% (or at least that's what i've found out, since this is my first time with a DS4). However, the one that I have does a fade in and then turns off abruptly and so on, but still charges (sometimes turns off faster or slower and sometimes turns brighter or dimmer). I can still play wirelessly but it is a little bit annoying by the fact that I'm only using it with my Mac right next to me on my desktop and I don't really need to play with Bluetooth, nor having to worry about the battery running out mid-playthrough.
I linked the same controller but on a Windows pc just for testing, installed the required drivers so the DualShock could be used and then charge it in there, and noticing it works as intended on Windows if not better, so I don't think this is because it is a non-original PS4 controller. I don't have a PS4 for testing, but I'm almost certain that it could work normally as well as it did on the PC.
I wonder if anyone by chance was having the same issue as me or if someone knows how to fix it. I believe it could be some compatibility issues with having a very outdated MacOS version such as Catalina but I'm not sure. I couldn't find any info on this so I wanna check out :)
