AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRise of the Tomb Raider has been confirmed running natively on Apple Silicon Macs according to AppleGamingWiki and user reports, with players reporting solid framerates (40-60 FPS) at high settings on M1 hardware. The Mac App Store version supports both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures. If you are still running the Intel-only build under Rosetta, update to the latest version through the Mac App Store — it will automatically install the native Apple Silicon variant on M-series Macs. You should see a noticeable improvement in performance, battery life and thermal efficiency compared to the Rosetta 2 version. If you own the game through Steam, launch Steam and check for updates; the Steam version also supports native Apple Silicon play.
