METRO Redux | Next-Gen Update coming this month

METRO Redux | Next-Gen Update coming this month

Will the Mac ports get it too? I really hope so, even though I played and finished them a long time ago, but perhaps unlikely because they would have to port them to Apple Silicon first.

"We have made careful, meaningful improvements to take advantage of the latest PC and console hardware. All platforms will include support for 4K textures, bringing greater depth and atmosphere to the haunting world of METRO. The update enhances gameplay immersion through improved animation fidelity, higher-quality audio and richer environmental detail. We have also managed to implement a range of community led bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements."

"For PC we have implemented DLSS support, spatial audio support as well as increased quality of life community bugfixes and frequently asked for improvements. Full patch notes detailing all technical improvements and platform-specific features will be revealed at launch, so this is just a taste for now. Coming October 22."

Apple and CDPR together at Gamescom

Despite all the opinions about Apple it's nice to see them keep pushing for gaming on their platform at different events. I think it’s a good sign of strong partnership when CDPR also keeps following them on such events showcasing Cyberpunk on Mac and the amount of work they spent on it.

With Witcher 1-2 and Cyberpunk ported to Mac I hope we keep getting other titles like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, Songs of the Past and of course The Witcher 4. Both Red Engine and Unreal 5 are now made for macOS too so we can always hope. :)

Company of Heroes 3 finally coming to Mac?

We didn't get CoH 3 like CoH 2 when it was released three years ago in Feb 2023 but five months ago four Mac depots were created on Steam. They are still empty but this could mean a possible port is on its way.

A "new" RE game for Mac: RE Survival Unit

I wasn't aware that there is a "new" RE game for iOS that works on Mac. RE Survival Unit was released in Nov 2025 but I didn't find any post about it here telling it works on Mac. I played a bit on my M1 Max and it seems to work with mouse and keyboard.

There are no settings so the reolution is like old games on 4K monitor but it's exciting. The quality is better than seen here in the images. I read that after a while it turns into a base/city builder but since there are no posts about it I thought it was worth mentioning that it works on Mac. Below is a video of the gameplay:

Deus Ex: HR finally playable in Crossover ARM Preview

As many know some old 32-bit games still don't run or run poorly in slow motion in Crossover due to old instructions (like x87) that lack support in Rosetta. One of them has been Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I had almost finished the game on my old iMac and was on the final mission but couldn't finish it on my Apple Silicon. Finally I had to use VMware Fusion to finish the game.

Now the #1 Preview tester Kieran reports that the game runs great with DXMT/MSync/DX11. It only freezes when quiting so either you have to wait a long time or force quit. I haven't been able to test it myself but if you do you can report back here.

What you get for 50 Wards

So I bought a ticket for June Sweepstakes since Wardy said there won’t be any losers and everybody will get at least a surprise WeCard. I was hoping for something on my wishlist or a nr 9 but of course Wardy would play cheap and send me JB 2. 😆😭🙃🤷🏻‍♂️

June Sweepstakes

So what do you think of this month’s sweepstakes? They say no losing tickets and everybody will get a surprise WeCard.

They have Halloween 9 on the banner and say you can win a random nr 9 from all chapters or a random vintage card. Will the surprise card be a nr 1-8 from active chapter? Is it worth 50 Wards?

Dorfromantik is coming to Mac!

Dorfromantik with "overwhelmingly positive" reviews on Steam is coming to Apple Silicon on June 25.

Dorfromantik will be available for Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 2020 and newer).

Over the past weeks and months, we’ve been testing internally whether we could bring Dorfromantik to Mac in a way that meets our quality standards. And by now, we feel confident enough to say: we can make it happen!

Thank you so much for your patience, your support, and for continuing to share your love for Dorfromantik with us.

The Future of Crossover

Currently, CrossOver requires the use of Rosetta 2 to translate x86_64 instructions to ARM64. Rosetta 2 will be largely discontinued with macOS 28 in 2027, and our ARM64 CrossOver build will run without Rosetta 2, allowing for a seamless transition for our users.

Good news

The CrossOver team has been working really hard on some new things for CrossOver 27 that haven't even made it into a Preview build yet. Very briefly, these new things include:

- Some fresh UI changes for gaming bottles.

- ARM64 builds of CrossOver for both Mac and Linux.

Bad news

To make room for the new, we had to make some tough decisions. The bad news is that we will be removing some legacy support options starting with CrossOver 27:

- CrossOver Mac 27 will only run on macOS Sonoma or newer, and only on Apple silicon Macs.

- 32-bit bottles will no longer run, full stop. We've been warning about this since CrossOver 26 was released, and you will need to create new 64-bit bottles to use CrossOver 27 and beyond. Almost all 32-bit applications run just fine in a 64-bit bottle.

Will Alien: Isolation 2 be released for Mac?

I think there is a good chance for a Mac release. Creative Assembly and Feral Interactive are both British and have had business relationship for two decades. The first port Feral did of a Creative Assembly game was Rome: Total War in 2010. Since then there have been many Total War games ported to both Mac and iOS.

Feral also ported Alien: Isolation to both Mac and iOS and the iOS port was finalist in Apple Design Awards for Visuals and Graphics in 2022. Mac or iOS weren’t mentioned at Summer Game Fest reveal but it’s pretty usual that a Mac port is announced later after the PC release. Maybe we’ll hear something about it tomorrow at WWDC but it’s probably be too early to announce.

Whishlist anomaly!

Several times I have encountered a weird bug? regarding people's wishlists. While proposing a trade their "wishlist matches" show more cards than the wishlist on their profile. How is that possible? How can some cards be invisible on their profile wishlist but shown as wanted in the trade?
