World of Warcraft Legion is out on Mac and it’s over 60% faster thanks to Apple’s Metal

“World of Warcraft Legion, the latest expansion to the biggest MMO out there, is finally available. It was released on August 30 for Mac and Windows and can be purchased directly through Battle.net,” Ric Molina reports for Mac Gamer HQ.

“Legion also introduces game-changing features, such as: New legendary Artifact weapons; New PvP-specific talents; A new world-scaling leveling system; And Class Order Halls,” Molina reports. “This is enough to make WoW Legion one of the most exciting Mac games this year. Nearly every system has been overhauled and critics so far are liking it. A lot.”

“I’m glad to confirm the first Mac game to support Metal is finally here. WoW now has a version that officially supports Metal and the improvements are impressive. With Count It, we measured both WoW using OpenGL and WoW using Metal and compared the result,” Molina reports. “The Metal version of WoW is over 60% faster than the older version.”
