The Game Awards 2025 ~ Mac Gamer Reactions, Highlights & Surprises

A commentary-style skim through The Game Awards 2025, watched from the perspective of someone who mostly plays games on a Mac — which means half the show is hype and the other half is me quietly accepting that most titles will never come to macOS. Still, there were some great surprises, a few must-play upcoming games, and even one trailer that explicitly mentioned the Mac App Store (!). I paused on the reveals that caught my attention, shared some thoughts on their gameplay or cinematic style, and talked through what might (or might not) make it to Apple platforms. A mix of reactions, impressions, and wishful thinking for the future of Mac Gaming. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 — Intro & Opening Scenes 02:55 — Bradley the Badger 03:50 — Stupid Never Dies (Sunset Overdrive Vibes) 05:48 — Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic 08:46 — Toxic Commando 10:03 — Divinity 12:45 — 4:LOOP 13:35 — Resident Evil: Requiem 16:00 — Exodus & Warlock 18:30 — Screamer 19:25 — Control: Resonant (Coming to Mac!) 23:01 — LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight 23:48 — Tomb Raider: Catalyst 24:30 — Diablo IV Expansion 25:24 — 007: First Light 27:23 — Saros 27:54 — Where Winds Meet 29:45 — Star Wars: Galactic Racers 31:33 — Highguard Controversy 33:41 — Game of the Year & Outro
