Vulkan and Proton on Mac or bust.

I wish. That will likely be up to the Asahi team to do though. If only there was a arm64(aarch64) version of steam available that basically bundled box64 on steam.

They already have a Proton-like tool called game porting toolkit. It needs the newest Mac beta though.

good look trying to get enough game running in there without the community help

I just used Whisky.app, installed Steam and a few games.

All the games I tried worked without tinkering, including Cyberpunk 277 and Starfield.

They were playable enough on an M2 Pro but performance could certainly be better. Hopefully that’s what they will announce.

I mean...good luck with that. If it's not streaming, and it's not a fully fledged Proton-like compatibility suite, seeya later.
