GameHub will give Mac owners another imperfect way to play Windows games

Here's something that caught my attention — Mac owners might soon have another way to play Windows games, but it’s far from perfect. Kyle Orland from Ars Technica reports that GameSir, known for its gaming peripherals, is working on bringing its Android-based emulation tool, GameHub, to macOS. Now, you might think, 'Great — another option.' But here’s where it gets tricky. Tests on Reddit and sites like EmuReady show that compatibility is pretty hit-or-miss. Some games, especially those built with Unity or Godot, tend to run smoothly, but many others face serious issues. According to Orland, this isn’t a guaranteed fix, just another imperfect way for Mac gamers to try their luck. And get this — GameHub’s past attempts on Android haven’t exactly been flawless, with reports of terrible compatibility across popular titles. So, while it’s interesting to see more options emerging, it’s still a bit of a gamble. Keep an eye — things might improve, but don’t expect perfection anytime soon.

For a while now, Mac owners have been able to use tools like CrossOver and Game Porting Toolkit to get many Windows games running on their operating system of choice. Now, GameSir plans to add its own potential solution to the mix, announcing that a version of its existing Windows emulation tool for Android will be coming to macOS.

Hong Kong-based GameSir has primarily made a name for itself as a manufacturer of gaming peripherals—the company's social media profile includes a self-description as "the Anti-Stick Drift Experts." Early last year, though, GameSir rolled out the Android GameHub app, which includes a GameFusion emulator that the company claims "provides complete support for Windows games to run on Android through high-precision compatibility design."

In practice, GameHub and GameFusion for Android haven't quite lived up to that promise. Testers on Reddit and sites like EmuReady report hit-or-miss compatibility for popular Steam titles on various Android-based handhelds. At least one Reddit user suggests that "any Unity, Godot, or Game Maker game tends to just work" through the app, while another reports "terrible compatibility" across a wide range of games.
