Many Apple Arcade games also support Game Center. In Game Center, you can see the games your friends recently played and their achievements. See the Apple Support article Access your Apple Arcade gameplay data on all of your devices.

Every Apple Arcade game is handpicked to bring together an incredible variety of games for all play styles and generations. Types of games include puzzle, strategy, adventure, simulation, board, card, sports, and more.

Most single-player and multiplayer games show achievements and leaderboards so you can track your scores and ranking. You can access your Game Center Profile to track your achievements and show which games your friends are playing.

Unfortunately in recent years a number of great games for Mac have declined because many are no longer supported. Every new version of macOS tends to break a few games, but macOS Catalina in 2019 meant that lot of games that used 32-bit code were no longer Mac compatible.

At the same time that Apple went 64-bit only it also introduced Metal for 3D graphics, which left a lot of games developers with a decision: make new Mac versions of their games or stop making them. Unfortunately many chose the latter.

Below you will find what we believe are the greatest Mac games out there, together with links to the Mac App Store, Steam and other reputable vendors, so you can buy them right away. These are the very best games for Mac. They are in alphabetical order, not in order of preference.

Company: Square Enix Where to buy: Square Enix US store (from $19.99, plus $14.99 per month) or Square Enix EU store (from £9.99 + £7.69 monthly subscription); free trial also availableSystem requirements: Mac with OS X v10.14 or later, 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor

There is a pretty major caveat for Mac owners, however. Ever since the release of macOS Catalina in 2019, modern Macs can no longer run 32-bit games, which is why we sadly left classics such as Portal and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis off the list. There are workarounds, as are there for playing Windows-only games on Mac. But for the purposes of this list, we included only games that you can download and play without any knowledge of Parallels, Bootcamp or similar programs.

Wherever you choose to purchase the best Mac games, make sure that the game is Mac-compatible (check for a little Apple symbol), and will work with the version of macOS your computer is running. The system requirements section on a store page will usually provide this information.

There are few things as soothing as a good farming sim, and Stardew Valley set a new standard for the genre when it came out in 2016. Building on the legacy of the farming-themed games that came before (most notably the Harvest Moon series), Stardew Valley adds depth to almost every system: agriculture, animal husbandry, combat, friendship, exploration and more.

Speaking of Maniac Mansion (and when are we not?), its 1993 sequel Day of the Tentacle got the remaster treatment in 2016, bringing one of the funniest, most creative games of all time to modern systems. DOTT was widely regarded as a masterpiece throughout the 90s, and unlike many other games from the era, it holds up wonderfully. Time travel? Sentient tentacles? A plan to enslave humans? Making a time capsule with Thomas Edison? Day of the Tentacle has it all.

Like other games of this nature, Firewatch is extremely narrative-focused, and incorporates themes such as the fear of the unknown, and the loneliness of self-imposed isolation. Its success in storytelling so made it a top pick among critics and players back in 2016, and six years later, its story still resonates.

Any games you download from the App Store on your mac will be downloaded to the Applications folder on your mac. If you open the Finder and select Applications from the left hand panel, you'll see the applications folder open up containing all the application on your mac plus those you've downloaded from the App Store, as seen in this screenshot below. Hope this answered your question!

Ah ok, I see what you're saying. Right click on the game/app inside the applications folder and click on Show Package Contents. This will show all of the games files such as saved games, and other essential game files. Hope this answered your question!

Here are the Apple Arcade titles worth playing right now. Note that while you won't find these games on other mobile devices, or available for purchase on the App Store outside of Apple Arcade, some are available on other dedicated gaming consoles and PC stores. Still, Apple Arcade is the only place you can play them all in one convenient, affordable, Apple One bundle.

Threes! remains one of the best puzzle games of the past decade. No amount of 2048 rip-offs will ever change that. On Apple Arcade you can play the original game, ad-free, in all of its adorable, number-sliding glory.

Ultimate Rivals lets you build an all-star team from a selection of famous athletes, and get funky with what they play. Wayne Gretzky kicks a soccer ball. Megan Rapinoe throws an American football. LeBron James swings a baseball bat. This is the Super Smash Bros. of arcade sports games, and it's a lot of fun.

When you accept the invitation, the EA app download process will begin. Origin will be uninstalled automatically - this ensures you will not experience any conflicts or errors related to having both clients installed on your PC simultaneously. Once you complete the update process, your games and content will be ready for play.

By the time you receive your invite through Origin, all your games, DLC and other content should be ready to launch through the EA app. If you find anything missing from the EA app, please contact us so we can resolve the issue.

From Devolver Digital, the publisher for other great Mac games such as Cult of The Lamb and Inscryption comes CARRION. A reverse-horror game where you get to be the monster hunting down the scientists instead.

But it gets worse: You are completely incapable of combat. With no weapons at your disposal, you will have to be quick on your feet to stay alive. Needless to say, Outlast is a must if you enjoy horror games.

Games have a largely subjective aspect to them. You may love some games, while I might prefer completely different ones. This is why we identified a set of criteria that every single one of our picks has to meet:

MacOS performance: There are many reliable Windows-PC reviews, guides, and videos on the internet. However, they never acknowledge MacOS gaming. This is why our focus is always on the Mac performance of the games listed here.

Critical acclaim: Video games can be subjective, but to keep this guide as relevant as possible, we only consider proven games with positive reviews from professional reviewers and average gamers.

As of today, there are about 800,000 Windows 10 apps in the Microsoft Store, as opposed to only about 11,000 in the Mac App Store. There are a number of excellent apps in both stores, and the Mac user with Parallels Desktop can take advantage of both to find the perfect app for your needs.

If you're familiar with buying games from the App Store, you know the pain of trying to figure out with games have controller support and which don't. Usually, you have to go looking through the game's description to see if the developer has included support, but Apple Arcade changes all that. Apple Arcade has clearly labeled each game that supports a controller in not just one, but two places, so you don't miss it. Some games, such as The Oregon Trail, don't really need it, but it's there anyways!

When you tap on a game in Apple Arcade, you'll be brought to the game page. At the top of the game page, right underneath the app icon, you'll notice a banner of important information. If a game supports controller, you'll see it in this banner (pictured above in the middle). You can also scroll down the page to the Support section, and if the game supports controllers, it will be clearly labeled here as well (pictured above on the right). Just like that, you can use any of the controllers that are compatible with Apple devices with your games.

The process for seeing what games have controller support on the Mac is very similar to checking on your iPhone or iPad. When you launch the App Store, you can click on the Arcade tab in the sidebar. This will bring you to the Apple Arcade screen and you can either search for or click on a game.

Starting early in 2020, virtually all new Apple Arcade games have included controller support. Some of the older games have gone back and added controller support and even a few of those that don't officially offer controller support will still work with controllers. If you don't see your favorite game on this list, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

If youre favorite game doesn't support your controllers just yet, hang on. Games are getting updates on a fairly frequent basis. It's entirely possible that any game that doesn't have controller support will get it in the near future. New games are also being added to Apple Arcade on a somewhat less-regular basis, so check back in every now and again to see if there's any new games that you can use your controllers with.
