Steam finally goes native on Apple Silicon, here’s how to try it

  • On June 14, 2025, Valve introduced a beta update of Steam featuring a Universal app that runs natively on Apple Silicon devices.
  • This release comes after Apple revealed at WWDC 2025 that macOS Tahoe will be the final update compatible with Intel-based Macs and that support for Rosetta 2 will be discontinued in an upcoming macOS version.
  • The native Steam client removes reliance on Rosetta 2, improving performance with faster launch times, smoother navigation, and more responsive Store and Library access.
  • Apple announced that while full Rosetta 2 support will end by fall 2027, a limited version will remain available to assist older, unsupported games that depend on Intel-based frameworks.
  • This update enables better gaming on Macs with Apple Silicon and signals an accelerated transition away from Intel Macs while maintaining limited legacy app support temporarily.
