Recently, on my 24-inch Apple iMac (2022) that comes equipped with an 8-core GPU, I played Resident Evil Village, and it was awesome. First off, I'll say that I'm firmly in the PC camp when it comes to high-end gaming and have long believed Macs aren't really designed to provide the kind of power that PC gamers get from their Intel, AMD and NVIDIApowered machines. But playing Resident Evil Village has made me reconsider.
And it’s not for the lack of effort on Apple’s part. At last year’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), I was thrilled but still had my doubts when I heard that the Cupertino-based company would be releasing the newest Resident Evil game for Macs.
Playing it on the iMac, however, has left me convinced that games optimised for Apple’s hardware can be just as good as those available for dedicated gaming PCs and laptops.
