News bits. The impressive looking Crimson Desert has been confirmed for Mac, releasing late 2025, possibly later, heh. Sniper Elite 4 for macOS and iOS has a release date of 30th January 2025. Epic Games has added an Android games category to it’s store; iOS was added a while back. Still no mobile games listed but intriguing.
This months list has quite a few cozy games, some roguelites, adventures, other randos, plus a few high profile releases lower down the list. Just my biased choices of new macOS games. All the major sales are up and running now, enjoy. Due to that I’m expecting a slimmer list next month but hopefully something unexpected and fun will drop.
