We took the 100 most popular Steam games in our catalog (596 games) and gave each a short answer: is there a Mac version, do player reports say the Windows version runs on Apple Silicon Macs, and does anti-cheat get in the way. Each game’s page has the details and sources.
In short
- 46 have a Mac version: install them in Steam for Mac as usual.
- 26 run on Apple Silicon Macs according to player reports; another 7 start, but only short sessions were checked.
- 7 we have launched in Uncork ourselves: each page says how far we got.
- 13 won’t run: their anti-cheat or publisher keeps them off the Mac.
- 1 has a poor recent player report: a game update may fix that.

How to play the ones that run
Download Uncork — it’s free. On first launch it installs everything it needs and Steam; then sign in to Steam and install games from your library. You need a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer): Uncork does not run on Intel Macs.
If a game won’t start or crashes, message us on Telegram at @uncorkwin and we’ll look into it together.
Why many popular games won’t run
The most common anti-cheats on this list are Easy Anti-Cheat, BattlEye and EA anticheat. The anti-cheat in these games will not let their Windows version start on a Mac through a compatibility layer. You can play them in the cloud, for example GeForce NOW, if the game is there. More about anti-cheats on a Mac
