Pokémon Shield

An adventure where players travel through the Galar region, catching and battling creatures known as Pokémon while aiming to become the Champion.

An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing covered the language selection, character creation, the opening cinematic, movement within the starting house in Postwick, and navigating through the front door to meet the character Hop using automated inputs. Full game reliability is unverified; testing only covered the initial introductory sequences and the first town environment. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
