I hope Apple realizes this isn't a replacement for sending Metal Engineers to development houses for more personalized support.

I tried the demo yesterday with Crossover on a M2 Max. It was a disaster.
I hope it is well optimized.

It is a UE5 game, so don't get your hopes up....

Apple M5 up to 100% faster than M4 in native Resident Evil games!

I haven't seen direct comparisons between MBP M4 and M5 in RE games yet but this is iPad Pro M4 vs M5. RE Village and RE 4 are tested on 1669p High with MetalFX Off.

M5 gets around 50% boost most of the time in RE Village with up to 60% increase. RE 4 has around 40—50% better performance most of the time with up to 100% increase. Pretty incredible GPU improvement over one generation. For example 5060 has about 8% better raw performance than 4060.
