Last week, Apple held an invitation-only press event to show off games coming to its platforms. However, for Apple, which has begun to market Macs as capable of playing modern games, GeForce NOW and services like it may end its AAA gaming ambitions before they leave the gate. For Mac users, GeForce NOW is an opportunity to finally play the most advanced games available on the computer they love, which is exciting. GeForce NOW is a technological marvel that turns traditional computing expectations on their head, offering Mac users a world where your Internet connection and display are more important than the computing power of the device on which a game is played. NVIDIA has data centers like it across the US and in Europe, streaming the latest, most demanding titles to a wide range of devices, including the Mac. That’s the data center my Mac connects to when I log into GeForce NOW Ultimate, the top tier of NVIDIA’s videogame streaming service. It’s a PC sitting in a Dallas data center with an NVIDIA 4080 GPU.

I’ve seen the future of Mac gaming, and it’s not Metal 3 or Apple silicon.
