In the latest Steam client beta spotted by 9to5Mac, Valve says the “Steam Client and Steam Helper apps now run natively on Apple Silicon.”That means Steam will no longer need to use Rosetta 2 to run on Macs with M-series chips. Native support for Apple Silicon should make Steam run more smoothly. The update follows Apple’s announcement that it will stop launching major updates for Intel-based Macs after macOS Tahoe. You can try out the Steam beta by opening the app on your Mac, selecting Steam > Settings > Interface. From there, look for the “Client Beta Participation” heading, and select Steam Beta Update from the dropdown menu.
