In a move that underscores both Ubisoft and Apple’s commitment to expanding gaming horizons, ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ is set to make its debut on Mac on the same day it releases for other platforms. This marks a significant step for Ubisoft, which has consistently embraced new and emerging gaming platforms. The company’s willingness to venture beyond established platforms was evident in its early support for Google Stadia and other cloud streaming services.
Apple, too, has been steadily investing in the gaming space, introducing features like MetalFX Upscaling and Fast Resource Loading API to enhance the gaming experience on Mac. The company’s acquisition of noted game director Hideo Kojima and the introduction of the Game Porting Toolkit further underscore its commitment to bringing high-quality games to Mac users.
The advent of the latest M3 silicon chip has significantly boosted gaming capabilities on Macs, as demonstrated by the impressive performance of the M3 MacBook Air in handling games like Baldur’s Gate 3. This technological advancement has opened the door for more demanding games like ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ to be playable on Mac. While Mac may not yet be the optimal platform for top-tier gaming, Ubisoft’s decision to release ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ on Mac on day one signifies the company’s belief in the potential of the platform and its growing gaming community.
