Best Fps Mac Games For Low End Macs

FPS Games for MAC OS X

Apr 16, 2016 The reason is quite simple; if you’re running the game at native resolution, then the Mac has to drive the game at full resolution of the display at 2880 x 1440 or greater.

On the contrary, even without booting to Windows, the games available for the OS X are quite numerous and thanks to both Apple's own App Store and Valve's Steam, Mac owners can now turn their Mac into a gaming computer—albeit one with a limited library of good games.

With that in mind, we've compiled a list of first person shooters, or FPS titles that run natively on the Mac OS X. You can pick any of these games up through Valve's Steam platform or through the App Store. We'd recommend the former, if only to keep all your games in one place. Picking them up on Steam will also allow you to install and play those games on the PC without having to buy them twice.
