Apple just released a new Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro chips — and the company finally has a device that could become a respectable gaming machine, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says in his latest “Power On” newsletter.
The combination of the Mac’s small size and formidable processing power — plus the ability to easily connect it to a living room TV setup — makes it the ideal starting point for a fresh push into the field, he adds. Gurman says the Mac mini has all the hardware and software requirements for a good gaming machine.
“But Apple’s biggest challenge remains a relative lack of gaming titles. Though the company has made some headway in this department — it brought over Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding and recently promised Cyberpunk 2077 — the Mac gaming library still trails those of Sony and Microsoft by miles,” he writes. “The hope for both Apple and consumers is that the latest hardware is enough to get game developers to seriously consider bringing more of their best work to the Mac.”
