Back in February, Feral Interactive announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration would make its way onto macOS this spring. The title is a port of the 2016 PS4 game and the sequel to the series reboot Tomb Raider from 2013.
In a follow-up announcement today, Feral revealed an April 12 release date for the title as well as pricing and the official system requirements that Mac owners will need in order to run the game at an acceptable performance.

Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration can be pre-ordered on the Feral Store for $59.99, which includes the base game and all the DLC ever released for it.

Apple won’t put gaming graphics cards in their computers.
I don’t know why we get these half assed ports 2 years late.
You can buy this game for $10 on Steam.

A port of a 2 year old game that will passably run on a $2000 Mac.
It's a pain that the graphics cards aren't great and we have to wait, but if there's one thing Feral don't do, it's half-assed ports. Since they've started using Metal, they usually run at least as well as Windows versions in Boot Camp on the same machine. (F1 2016 ran a little bit better, in fact.)Apple won’t put gaming graphics cards in their computers.

That’s why I think it’s a better solution to have a PC or console for gaming and have a MacBook Pro and/or iMac for macOS and productivity.
Yes, I agree. I just wish it could be a PC or Mac for gaming and a MacBook Pro for productivity on the go.That's more or less the way I have it now since I have a MacPro5,1 (6-core 3.33 GHz) and a GTX 970 GPU and dual boot into Windows 10 for the games that doesn't work (or work less well) in macOS.
So, looking forward to Apple bringing some good desktop computers back (hopefully).
