Pikmin 4

A real-time strategy and puzzle game where the player leads small, plant-like creatures called Pikmin to explore a mysterious planet, collect treasures, and rescue stranded travellers.

An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing included the boot sequence, title screen, main menu, and the Olimar prologue section of the game. Performance was verified through cutscenes, dialogue sequences, and active play while monitoring memory resident sets and frame rates. Full game reliability remains unverified beyond the prologue. The engine region gate has not yet been tested with the current 4.06 GB configuration, and frame rate stability was not measured with repeated inputs at various targets. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
