EVE Online Is Working On A New Native Mac Client, Plans Public Testing In Q1 2021

CCP Games is looking to capture the hearts and minds of Mac users with a new native Mac client. The studio revealed that the new client is still in development but it’s still a step in the right direction considering that most game developers today are shying away from supporting the newer Mac machines, or any Mac OS for that matter.

“The native macOS client will enable native support for macOS Big Sur and Apple’s powerful graphics processing framework, Metal. The move to Metal ensures the best visual experience for players on macOS, along with significant optimizations and performance improvements compared to the existing client.”

Public testing for the new Mac client is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2021. More information can be found on the EVE Online official site.

Today CCP is excited to unveil work on a native macOS EVE Online client, ensuring the best visual experience for Mac players, with significant optimizations & performance improvements!
