It was released for Mac with full native support and remains a benchmark title for testing gaming performance on M-series Macs.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionTomb Raider was ported to macOS by Feral Interactive with full native Apple Silicon support, so if your copy is running under Rosetta 2, you already own the game that has a native build available. The simplest path is to check for updates within Steam: open the app, navigate to your library, find Tomb Raider, and Steam will automatically pull the native build if an update is available. Alternatively, you can verify the app's architecture by right-clicking Tomb Raider in the Steam library, selecting Properties, and checking the architecture tab — if it shows Intel, simply restarting Steam or reinstalling the game from within Steam will fetch the native version. Many Mac gamers report the native build runs exceptionally well on M-series Macs, delivering 60+ fps at high settings and running notably cooler than the Rosetta 2 version.
