Apple has unveiled a new toolkit that is designed to make it easier and faster for developers to bring their PC games to macOS. The tech giant unveiled the Game Porting Toolkit this week at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

Apple says the toolkit “eliminates months of upfront work” and enables developers to see how well their existing game could run on Mac in just a few days, Apple says. The toolkit also simplifies the process of converting the game’s shaders and graphics code to take advantage of Apple silicon performance, significantly reducing the total development time. With this tool, developers can launch an unmodified version of a Windows game on a Mac and see how well it runs before fully porting a game.
