Kotaku is reporting that the Steam client for Mac computers comes out tomorrow. If you already own Portal and Torchlight on the PC, you may already own it on the Mac.
If you bought Portal or Torchlight via Steam on your Windows-based PC then you may in fact already be the proud owner of tomorrow’s releases. Portal (and possibly Torchlight — the press release is unclear) will support a feature called Steam Play, which, according to a press release from Valve today, “allows customers to purchase a game once and play it on all Steam supported platforms. Gamers who have previously purchased games on Steam will find them available in their account on the Mac as they are released.”
I think this is AWESOME because these games should run fine on my MacBook. I can now play Torchlight on any computer I own.
Wait. That may be a bad thing.
It is downloading as I type this.
Are you using Steam Cloud with Torchlight? I would like to hear how that works.
It uses it automatically. Was creepy to see my high level chick when I loaded it up.
Looks like they added my Civ IV games today. This puts my Mac games at 25 now. I can run them all on the MacBook except Portal. Go figure.
