These ports are not very good, the effort is there, but the result is far from exciting. The only people buying these games are those that want to brag about playing these games on the go.

Gaming on a Mac is still bad, Apple acts like they make big strifes for gaming on a Mac, but in the end porting or developing games for Macs is still a nightmare. They do not have the neccessary hardware either, the GPU performance of their M-Chips is far too weak.

          Believe it or not, Apple will launch a gaming rig (PC) or even laptop in the coming future.

              And that's why consoles and computers rule the games world. Apple stick to making toy devices leave it to the experts to make the game consoles.

                        I'm sure Apple also does this since lots of highly acclaimed games during iphone 4 era are nowhere to be found now.

                          lol these comments on here funny and stinky in here. If I need a good laugh, only need to go to an Apple article and read away.

                            Honestly, who would pay $50 for a mobile game? We know Apple users aren't exactly the brightest, but even then, the actual game is rendered at less than HD resolution and can't even maintain 30 fps on medium settings? How, in any way, does this showcase how "powerful" Apple's hardware is?

                            On top of that, AC Mirage isn't even a full standalone game. It's very short and was initially meant to be an AC Valhalla DLC. But Ubisoft being Ubisoft, decided to try and milk the players even more than they already have.

                              It's a loss for developers. But it did help Apple generate hypes for the $1000+ iPhone 15 series.

                              Made people quickly forget that Nintendo Switch can play PS4 games at a fraction of price. That too was launched 7 years ago.

                                    They will destroy your battery, like Divinity on iPad, you either use a streaming service for these or you are literally cooked. We dont need AAA games on mobile, we need GOOD games, and less shovelware.

If you have rog zephyrus g14 or an omen transcend 14, yes you can play it on the go. You don't high class gaming laptops to play PC games. Compact laptops can still churn out 1080p@90fps in very demanding games, something an m4 powered iPad can't do despite being expensive. Hell even a 700 dollar HP victus 2019 can do it.

In this case just get used cheap PS5 🤔
