You know this brings up a good question: When the hell is Fortnite gonna come back to Mac? It's been 3 years and the appeals are still going.
Zero Grounds on Steam
Zero Grounds is a free-to-play, fast-paced online multiplayer FPS featuring intense battles in antigravity zones. Engage in fast-paced firefights, progress through ranks, customize your loadouts, and enjoy the game's low-poly aesthetics.
The devs behind Zero Ground, an upcoming FPS title, posted on r/macgaming about a month ago, to gauge interest in a Mac version, and to raise awareness of the title.
To put it mildly, they've been impressed by the response and have posted an update video.

Whenever Apple is ready to forgive them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You know BattleBit Remastered would be an excellent game to port to Mac. We already got Ravenfield so why not BattleBit?
Isnt it just 1 developer (as in a single person shop) doing Battlebit?
Probably when the suit gets settled or Tim Sweeny gets over himself.
Though I’ve heard Fortnite peaked in popularity awhile ago, so it may sunset before the suits are settled.
Hahahahaha no. Fortnite ain't sunsetting anytime soon. Everyone always says it peaks but they always say that during slower seasons. Fortnite always does something new every season and that catches interest in people checking it out. Plus their collabs still net a lot of money. Recently they just got the licensing to use Arnold Schwarzenegger's likeness for a Terminator skin, and are currently doing a collab with hit action anime Jujutsu Kaisen
Could prove it by me, I never played it. My brother did but he quit a few years ago.
In any case, lawsuits can take years to settle, and there’s no guarantee some other game won’t steal Fortnites thunder.
ELEX 2 is out on the Mac App Store. Seems quite boring to me but I guess it has got its fans.
I am not 100% sure how I feel about this performance review. Interesting that the Intel Macs can hang (well the ones with AMD GPUs).

It's not worth it. The game's getting panned by critics and audiences.
Fort Solis Reviews
Responding to an unusual alarm call from a remote mining base, Jack arrives at the dark and desolate Fort Solis. With storm warnings imminent, he heads inside to make desperate contact. As the night grows longer, events escalate, spiral out of control and the mystery of what happened to the crew...
www.metacritic.com
Some of my favorite reviews:
- PC Gamer: If Fort Solis really was a Netflix series, it wouldn’t get a second season. (40/100)
- EuroGamer: With a slow burn opening that lays the groundwork for a potentially brilliant sci-fi thriller, Fort Solis initially shows plenty of promise - but its story loses momentum in its later chapters, and fails to stick the landing. (40/100)
- IGN France: Fort Solis is a walking simulator that feels more like a forced walk. (50/100)
- Polygon: Fort Solis has some impressive talent behind it, not least the artists and performers. But almost everything else drowns beneath a thick sludge of annoyance thanks to the stifling mechanics, such as the useless map, lack of sprint, and overreliance on QTEs for the underwhelming mystery. If Fort Solis had been a 4K YouTube video instead of a game, I imagine the experience would not have differed much. And maybe it should have just been a video. At least I could have fast-forwarded through the tedious walking sections that comprise most of the game.
- And my personal favorite the top review on Steam from a guy who got the game for free: Fort Solis is the worst video game I have ever played & completed in 20 years of gaming. Fails as a game, fails as a movie, total fail.

Maybe, maybe not. 🙃 Mixed reviews on Steam. Apparently it's not for everyone. Not saying it doesn't have issues though.
