Although nothing has changed on steamdb since the the 8th, it'd be nice if the game could be showcased at the next Apple event. The game may be ported to Apple Silicon with the help of Apple.
(Baldur's gate 3 is another contender, as Apple and Larian studios have a good relationship).

Since 9th . That would be mind blowing. An AS Mac that can play Metro Exodus at an Apple event!

Great news! The two DLCs "The Two Colonels" and "Sam's Story" seem to be on their way to Mac too. https://steamdb.info/app/889920/ https://steamdb.info/app/889921/

Unfortunately it was Baldur's Gate III that was shown, not Metro Exodus.

Testing, testing...

The game has now been officially announced. No ETA yet. http://www.4a-games....y-studio-update

[Cougar]

ETA is now March: https://www.4a-games...ries-xs-upgrade

EGS, Steam and Mac App Store in March... wow!

Wow, indeed! Finally a developer who understands how to release their games. I'll definitely be buying all three games from the Mac App Store to support these guys. Great work.

Now, I expected the space needed by these games to be a problem. However, I just looked it up and apparently the first two games are both less than 9 GB. It's only the third game that needs about 60 GB. Well, about 80 GB for all three games is at least less than I expected. I expected them to eat up something like 120 GB.

[Homy]

Great! The question now is if it has M1 support.

Heh. Well, it was not without learning pains. The PC version was EGS exclusive for a year (unless you preordered it.)

But will it be the Enhanced Edition with 4K textures and raytracing??

Yeah, and it’ll be preinstalled on the new 16” M1 MBP with RTX 3000 series: https://www.okirobo....cyberpunk_2077/

Let us imagine, for the sake of clickbait, what a Mac laptop would look like if it wasn't made by Apple and was designed for a completely different target audience. What would that look like? Why, it would certainly be a big fat Windows PC but with an Apple logo on it! Our minds cannot conceive of anything else so nothing else is possible. Our idea has an objective reality that is worth taking seriously, because share this with your friends. Not convinced? These ads might help! (Us, not you).

Unfortunately they didn't make March, but we've got a date now:

Spartans, we have an update for you on the Mac & Linux versions of Metro Exodus


We are working hard on bringing these to you, and we can finally let you know the train has left the station. Both versions are now on track to arrive on Wednesday April 14.

[dr.zeissler]

Will that be M1 native ARM64 (Universal2-APP) or Intel-X86 ?

[Thain Esh Kelch]

I would be surprised if everything isn’t Arm native from now on.

[galad]

Steam libraries are still intel only, I would be surprised is Metro Exodus does not use them.

[Homy]

Exodus on Wednesday April 14 and new iMac M1X on Tuesday April 13? Imagine if Apple demoed Exodus just to show Intel was wrong when they mentioned the game as an example of games not running on Mac. Deepsilver and 4A have also not yet responded to direct questions on social media about the support for Apple Silicon. Maybe it's a surprise on the launch day of iMac M1X.
