The next major update to the macOS operating system, called OSX Catalina, is due out in October 2019. And after that, how , support for all 32-bit apps and games on Mac will be discontinued.
Как Italian game designer Paolo Pedercini tweeted that OSX Catalina will essentially “kill” all 32-bit applications, and most games running on Unity 5.5 or older will stop running.
However, this was expected. Even during the announcement of macOS Mojave, Apple warned that this would be the last version of macOS with support for 32-bit applications. But the most interesting thing is that Catalina will also block software created by non-certified developers.
Strictly speaking, users will be left without Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands, GTA: San Andreas, Portal and many other projects. They will also lose a number of Adobe Systems applications. By the way, Electronic Arts has previously announced that it will stop supporting The Sims 4 on older versions of the OS. Although, for compatibility, the company released Sims 4: Legacy Edition with support for 64-bit systems.
Let us remember that Canonical has previously tried to eliminate 32-bit applications in the Ubuntu operating system. This immediately caused outrage from users and Valve, which promised to leave the OS without games from Steam. And this had an impact - the developers quickly turned the tables and announced support for 32-bit applications until at least 2030. But in the case of Apple, it seems the outcome will be different.
