Apple has announced some of the first apps and games coming to Arm-based Macs, and it includes more than a few familiar names: Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Cinema 4D, and more.
Other titles teased during Apple’s event today where it detailed the first computers to use its Apple Silicon chips include the code editor Nova, the kids’ coding app Hopscotch, the video calling app Mmhmm, the design app Shapr3D, all of the productivity apps from the Omni Group, the publishing tool Affinity Publisher, the genealogy app MacFamilyTree, and the vector graphics app Vectornator. Apple previously said that Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are being updated for these new Macs, too.
There were also a few games shown today: Baldur’s Gate 3, Beyond a Steel Sky, and Subnautica: Below Zero.
Several other apps Apple teased appeared to be ports of iPhone or iPad apps. Those include the hit game Among Us, the illustration app Procreate, the sneaker shopping app GOAT, the streaming service HBO Max, the recipes app Kitchen Stories, the photo filtering app Graphite Sketchbook, and the photo editor Darkroom.
Apple didn’t provide release dates for most of these apps, but it said that Lightroom will be available next month, and Photoshop and “other flagship” Adobe apps will launch early next year.
All of Apple’s own apps will be available for Arm-based Macs on day one, the company previously said. That includes Apple’s pro apps, like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, and everything else from GarageBand and iMovie to Safari and Notes.
