Buzz: September 2026

It’s a somewhat low key month for Mac games. A couple of big names and lots of smaller unknown devs. Quite a few games coming out of early access. All part of what’s looking to be a dryer period for big releases as we discover that Control Resonant is not day one on macOS. I wouldn’t expect it sooner than early 2027. In the mix I’ve included a wild looking fully AI ‘FMV’ game that is worth seeing at least for a glimpse of the future of game (and movie) production, or for some schlocky laughs. Like it or loathe it, this stuff is increasing in scope and usage. Also worth noting, Transport Fever 3 is out tomorrow. Now onto the games…
