Native build evidence

Reviewed 2026-11-03. Verified storefronts: Steam.

MacGamingDB native reports — Source classifies the linked Mac performance reports as NATIVE; this label alone does not prove ARM64 architecture.
Steam app metadata via SteamCMD API — Steam common.osextended declares macosapplesilicon and common.oslist includes macos; the app is marked released. This is metadata evidence, not an independently inspected binary.
