I hope that after supporting keyboard and mouse input, the iPad version of Warframe can be opted into the Mac App Store. I noticed, at the time of pre-order, Warframe was explicitly listed in the App Store as compatible with Macs driven by the M1 chip. This was an exciting moment, as it meant I could finally enjoy Warframe on my Mac's unparalleled screen. However, after its release, the mention of M1 Mac compatibility was removed, and Warframe became unsearchable in the Mac App Store, which left me puzzled. From a technical standpoint, given the native support capabilities of the M-series Mac architectures for iOS and iPadOS applications, running the iPad version of Warframe on an M1 Mac should not pose any compatibility issues. I have encountered no such issues when playing Genshin Impact or Honkai: Star Rail, at least. The only necessity lies in mapping the keyboard to those touch inputs. I could even run Warframe mobile through PlayCover. This exacerbates our confusion regarding the decision not to make Warframe available to Mac users. Mac users are very eager to experience Warframe on our platform. Resorting to third-party solutions like PlayCover is a workaround, albeit far from perfect. Although PlayCover allows Warframe's iPad version to be side-loaded onto Macs, it lacks the incremental update support from the App Store. Each app update requires downloading a full IPA package to overwrite the old version. Moreover, PlayCover does not support Apple ID login, so it's impossible to play Warframe on macOS. An official release would not only offer a better experience but also signify to Mac gamers that their preferences and gaming needs are being taken seriously.
