Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive first released a Mac version of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy, a compilation of three main instalments of the Grand Theft Auto series in the 3D Universe, on November 12, 2010. This resulted in Boot Camp support being dropped, although Grand Theft Auto games for macOS should continue to run on ARM-based Macs via the Rosetta 2 compatibility layer. In 2020, Apple transitioned their Macintosh line from x86 to their in-house ARM-based systems-on-chips similar to the ones used on iOS devices. This has changed recently since macOS 10.11 'El Capitan' adopted a low level graphics acceleration API similar to DirectX on Windows called 'Metal'. This is mainly due to a generally lower user base compared to PC market dominance (especially among gamers) for various reasons such as the gamers inability to build a custom Mac from off the shelf parts, Apples use of often outdated and shoddy OpenGL/OpenCL framework implementation and Apple's lack of focus on appealing to gamers. Mac hardware based on the Intel x86 architecture can have Windows installed to run natively, although Apple's use of mobile-grade components especially on the iMac models may result in lower performance compared to similarly-priced Windows desktops. The lack of support for Grand Theft Auto games on macOS has more to do with Rockstar Games lack of interest in releasing ports rather than Apple's tepid support towards gaming. There have been thirteen releases of macOS, the latest being macOS 10.14 'Mojave'.Īlthough the Mac's operating system has been widely criticized for its lack of support and 'incompatibility with gaming', some Grand Theft Auto games have still been officially released for it. MacOS is the line of graphical operating systems which succeeded the original Mac OS. It was then succeeded by Mac OS X (renamed OS X and then macOS with the release of 10.12). The first version was first released in 1984 and 9 major versions of the Classic Mac OS were released, with Mac OS 9 (the final version) launched in 1999. It is known for being the first system aimed at the general public have a graphical interface consisting of mouse interaction with windows, icons, et cetera. It is the first operating system operated under Macintosh line-of-computers.

M ac OS/Macintosh System Software are a series of graphical user interface-based operating systems developed by Apple Inc. Unlike the PC, Macintosh line of computers have their own operating systems, namely the 'Classic' Mac OS and the current macOS (previously Mac OS X, then OS X) (for more information, see below).
