According to the Steam Hardware & Software Survey results for December 2025, 19.60% of Mac gamers were using the M4 processor. The M1 chip, released in 2020, came in second place with 18.06%. This was followed by the M2 at 13.08% and the M3 at 7.31%.
Despite the M3 chip offering benefits such as hardware-accelerated ray tracing, the M2 remains more popular than the M3. The Max version, which is higher performance, has a lower adoption rate than the base model, and the Ultra lineup found in Mac Studio and Mac Pro did not make it into the top rankings.
