News & Announcements

Twenty years ago, MacGameStore.com opened its virtual doors as the premier online store for digital Mac gaming. It's been a long and crazy ride ever since!

To celebrate, from November 2nd to November 21st we'll be running one of our best Sales ever. During these next twenty days you'll be able to get free (yes, FREE!) games on us just by loading up your Shopping Cart. Better still, we're running a big Giveaway with the Top Prize being a shiny new Mac mini M4! But don't worry -- there's plenty of other prizes to win. Full details about the Sale and Giveaway can be found by clicking any of the 20th Anniversary banners around our site.

We'd like to thank all of our Publishers who generously allow us to sell their titles on our Store. They've been great to work with, and many are featured in our Anniversary Sale. And finally, to our loyal Customers, we humbly say "Thank you". We could NOT have done it without you! You guys have stuck with us through thick and thin. Over the years we've been lucky to get to know many of you. We've tried to do our very best to provide you guys with a great shopping experience. Please know that we sincerely value your patronage.

That about wraps it up. We hope you enjoy our 20th Anniversary Sale and Giveaway. Thanks so much for stopping by MacGameStore.com. Here's to another 20 years!

The MacGameStore app version 5.1 is out. Here’s a list of new features and fixes:

• macOS Dock Shortcuts may now be created for purchased games and demos via the My Games "Action" menu.
• Added a new system to ensure purchased games are registered after your Mac is updated to a new version of macOS.
• Fixed a very rare threading issue when changing the row size in My Games.
• Made some minor changes and fixes to the My Games "Gear" menu.
• Incompatible games and demos may now be hidden via the "Gear" menu on macOS 10.12 thru 10.14.

We’re very excited about the new Dock Shortcuts feature and hope you are too! The MacGameStore app works on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 10.12 and later. It will be rolled out slowly over the coming days and should be in full release by early June.
