Hi @buffer.com
I’m unable to access my account on the iOS app with the latest version installed. I’m on iOS 18.7.1 with Buffer version 15.0.7. I’ve already installed and reinstalled the app completely to no avail.

As always, I'm very late to the party, but this game is so beautiful. For sure, @sabotagestudio.com artists know what they're doing with pixel art!

I am currently testing Angry Birds Bounce which arrived recently on #AppleArcade. That's an interesting take on a rogue-like Arkanoid game. Very juicy, very polished.

Rosetta 2 is now mostly deprecated by Apple.

This tool allows running Intel-based x86 applications on Apple Silicon, and most older games still use it. Or games running through Crossover.

Apple seems to be considering continued support for games specifically, and that's good news.
June 11, 2025 at 4:53 PM
macOS will also present a new Game Overlay with access to your friends' list or some system settings like the system energy mode, directly from the supporting games.
June 11, 2025 at 12:03 PM
But why port your games if you have nowhere to sell them? Enter the new Games app, a dedicated storefront for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, featuring games.

Coming this fall with the release of the operating systems.

Speaking of Metal 4, this year brings improved upscaling, ray tracing, and frame generation. The new denoiser also seems very efficient. It will be supported on Apple Silicon Macs and back to A14.

It continues to close the gap with other graphics APIs, such as DirectX, to facilitate game porting.
June 11, 2025 at 12:03 PM
Starting with the new games announced during the keynote.

Crimson Desert, Inzoi, Hitman: World of Assasination, Blue Prince, Cat Quest III, and more.

And finally, Cyberpunk 2077 will support Metal 4, so we can expect a release during the fall when macOS Tahoe arrives.

Now that #WWDC25 is here, it is time for a recap thread of #gaming-related or adjacent announcements.

And there is a lot to unpack in retrospect.
