During the Apple WWDC 2022 keynote presentation, it was announced that Resident Evil Village is coming to Mac later this year. Resident Evil Village will join the likes of No Man’s Sky on the platform, with both games looking like they run wonderfully on Mac thanks to tech discussed during the presentation like Apple silicon.

In a press release from Apple, the upcoming release of Resident Evil Village on Mac is described as follows:

In talking about the Mac release, it was also noted that Resident Evil Village runs at 1080p across the entire MacBook line, and at 4K for Mac Studio.

  Can we assume running natively on apple silicon?

    I think it's safe to assume, yeah.
    
    I'm seeing mixed reports that Metal 3 may *only* work on Apple Silicon, meaning if RE8 is using Metal 3 then yeah it *has* to be running on Apple Silicon natively.

      LOL if metal 3 only works on apple silicon all those folks who bought their 10 grand+ Mac Pro 2019 are out in the dust. that's gotta be the fastest / steepest obsoletion schedule in consumer products. 3 years to useless for the apple ecosystem.

        Well only useless if Metal 3 takes off or you bought the MP for gaming. I would think the majority of MP users bought it to do video editing or hardcore tasks it’s good at and kinda don’t care about the new OS doodads.

        yah but since there is no other gpu api, regular software relies on metal, and if apple gates features behind metal 3 (they do this all the time) - the mac pro could be useless for the optimized version of FCP

  Oh wow, this'll really show how much Apple Silicon can flex in games compared to dedicated GPUs. So far it has mostly been guesswork based on GPU compute tasks rather than 3D gaming
