In my day, Mac games were limited to playing tag in your raincoat, so it's always great to see the Macintosh's relatively tiny game library expand. The latest big-budget developer to offer a Mac version of one of their games is Creative Assembly, whose Alien: Isolation is coming to Mac—and Linux—next week.
Feral Interactive are handling conversion duties, and they're bringing it to Steam for both Mac and Linux on September 29. (It's also coming to the Mac App Store sometime in October.) It's the 'Alien: Isolation - The Collection' version of the game, meaning it includes all the DLC. Here's a trailer:
The minimum system requirements for both versions are below.
Mac
- 2.0Ghz CPU with at least 4GB RAM
- 1GB or better graphics card
- Mac OS 10.10.4 or later
- AMD 5000 series graphics card or better, NVIDIA 600 series or better and Intel Iris Pro series graphics card or better
Linux
- 2.6Ghz Dual-Core CPU with at least 4GB RAM

- The game requires an NVIDIA 600 series graphics card or better running Driver version 355.11 or better. Intel AMD and GPUs are not supported
