Mac’s expected transition to ARM processors is going to impact both games and gamers on macOS, but here are some ways that allow you to still be able to play after the switch.
Although once a far-off rumor, an ARM Mac could be just over the horizon. Apple might even announce the transition to ARM-based chips at its WWDC 2020 keynote, which kicks off on June 22.

Current Macs are based on Intel’s x86 chip architecture. Generally, software written and compiled for x86 Intel systems aren’t going to be automatically compatible with ARM-based chips. The chip technologies rely on differing processor instruction sets. Software written for one isn’t compatible with the other.
