Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

A celebrated crossover fighting game featuring a massive roster of characters from Nintendo and third-party franchises competing to knock each other out of varied arenas.

An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing documented on macOS includes the opening movie, title sequence, DLC and Challenge unlocks, main menu, ruleset configuration, stage and fighter selection, and 2-player battles on specific stages like Frigate Orpheon and Big Blue at 60 fps. Successive battles were tested to verify NRO module reloading. Full game reliability remains unverified beyond specific battle tests. DLC fighter availability in character selection and geometry shader compilation status are currently unconfirmed. The base version 1.0.0 is not currently supported due to archive format differences and unhandled jump tables. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
