Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a third-person action-adventure game from Square Enix and Eidos Montreal, the third instalment in the modern Tomb Raider trilogy. Players explore expansive environments across Central America, solving environmental puzzles, engaging in combat and stealth gameplay, and uncovering the story of archaeologist Lara Croft. The game is known for its demanding graphics, large open areas, and climbing and parkour mechanics. It is available on macOS through the Mac App Store and direct download for Intel Macs.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionShadow of the Tomb Raider is currently available only as an Intel-only macOS port — there is no native Apple Silicon build. The game does run on M-series Macs under Rosetta 2 emulation and is reported to be playable at medium to high settings on M1 and M2 machines, though with variable frame rates depending on resolution and graphics presets. However, Rosetta 2 will be removed entirely by Apple in September 2028 with the release of macOS 28, so this Intel build will stop launching at that point. Contact Square Enix or check the Mac App Store periodically to see if they ship a native Universal Binary version before then. If no native build appears, you may need to transition to games that offer native Apple Silicon support, or explore cross-platform alternatives that run natively on M-series Macs.
