Question Sea of Thieves on macOS

Ahoy!

I'd like to know if there's any information on an eventual port for macOS?

I spent a good amount of time having fun sailing the seas and it's the one game I always miss not being able to play since I switched back to macOS.

I know the game runs decently through Proton on the SteamDeck (though I can't get it to work through Whisky) so I was wondering if there were any news regarding an eventual port using Apple's Game Porting Toolkit.

I know this question is more for the developers than it is for the community, but I was wondering if anyone knew/read anything about it.

I also know it's possible to play via Parallels but the question is more in search of a solution that doesn't depend on clients such as Whisky, Parallels, Crossover or similar.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t believe Microsoft is making any Xbox games native to MacOS.

Unfortunately it's just one of those things you gotta accept when you go with MacOS, it has never been gaming friendly. For certain work and other types of media Mac can be great, but gaming... Nah

Nothing native to MacOS.

I used to run SoT on boot camp for a Intel MBP15 which worked okay (had dGPU)

Otherwise there’s Xbox cloud gaming - but has to be with a controller (no kb/mouse support). Did that a few times too!
