How to Check Steam Games for Mac Compatibility

Are you considering making the switch from PC to Mac and want to know which of your Steam games will be compatible with the new system? Look no further! In this article, we'll guide you through a step-by-step process on how to check which Steam games are compatible with Mac.

To begin, you'll need to ensure that your Steam profile is public. This is because the app reads your public Steam games list and visits each store page to determine what platforms the game supports. If your profile is not set to public, the app won't be able to access your games list and therefore cannot check for compatibility.

Once your profile is set to public, you can start using the app. The app will read your public Steam games list and then visit each store page to determine what platforms the game supports. This includes checking for native Linux support as well as Mac compatibility.

One important thing to note is that some older games may not have accurate data reported by Steam, which can lead to incorrect information about playtime or last played information. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about this, so you may need to research unknowns yourself.

The app also has a known issue where games that show up in the 'Unknown' section are due to the store page for that game's AppID no longer existing or containing the required information. Additionally, games with less than 5 hours of playtime will be semi-transparent to help you more quickly see which games you play often.

Rest assured that this app never asks for your Steam password and only works with public information. For example, if you access your Steam profile using -your Steam Id would be fred-, if the parser can't read it, it can't check it and nothing will happen.

The purpose of this app is to let people considering moving from PC to Mac or Linux check their Steam library to see which games have native support. With this information, you can plan your gaming experience on your new Mac setup with confidence.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to quickly and easily check which Steam games are compatible with Mac, making the transition to a new system a breeze. Happy gaming!
