Field notes
The catalog separates one Tuned game from 17 Preview games and also lists games marked Not yet, Won’t run, or Has a Mac version. Its Overwatch comparison specifies the machine, game settings, shader-cache condition, and test date; the reported first-match result is based on one round per app. The site says further rounds and games are coming, and notes that macOS 28 compatibility has not been confirmed.
