Pokémon Sword
An entry in the long-running monster-collecting RPG series, set in the Galar region where players catch, train, and battle Pokémon to become the Champion.
An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing included the first boot configuration (language, photo, and naming), the opening stadium broadcast, navigation throughout Postwick (player and Hop's houses), the walk to Wedgehurst including the station cutscene, and the first battle against Hop in his yard. Full game reliability remains unverified. Current implementation requires specific handling for mixed float/integer G-buffer targets and uses stubs for network service errors and Poké Ball Plus connectivity. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
