PC and console gamers make some room for MacBooks. They just got serious.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

WWDC 2022 announces that MacBooks can finally handle video games, starting with Resident Evil Village.

Among the slew of news coming out of Apple's WWDC 2022 keynote is the new Metal 3 graphics API. In a nutshell, that means gaming is more of a thing on MacBooks. The platform has never been one that prioritizes video game performance, although the Pro models can be commandeered for the job.

But now, MetalFX Upscaling will use the power of Apple silicon to render low res graphics and upscale them in a similar way to Nvidia DLSS. So games will run more efficiently while looking more high-res. (Image credit: Future)

Resident Evil Village will be taking advantage of the new API, so you can take on the statuesque Lady Dimitrescu on your MacBook. Expect high quality textures at 1080p resolution, with a 4K final result.

No Man's Sky will also be coming to Macs and thanks to Metal 3's fast
resource loading, players can look forward to quick load times and faster performance.

We don't have a date for the two titles MacBook launch just yet; all we know for now is that they're slated to arrive later this year.
