TL;DR: macOS Sonoma launching on September 26 brings desktop widgets, Game Mode for gaming performance, web apps in the Dock, new screen savers, Safari profiles, and more features to compatible Macs.

macOS has no games. Apple: “here’s gaming mode!”

/s

There is actually so much in Sonoma and tied to its release. Apple’s GPTK makes 90% of PC games playable. Sonoma also brings a slew of improvements to general rendering.

Using GPTK through Whiskey enabled me to play the Portal games again, games I've been unable to play since Apple ditched all 32 bit support and Steam didn't see the value in updating them. It's wonderful.
