The M4 chip debuted in the iPad Pro back in May 2024, before eventually expanding to nearly the entire Mac lineup. Though it has since been replaced by the M5 chip in the 14-inch MacBook Pro, the M4 remains the most popular Apple Silicon chip among Steam gamers.
According to Steam’s monthly hardware and software survey, 19.60% of Macs running Steam in December 2025 were powered by Apple’s M4 system-on-chip. The second most popular chip is the M1 chip from 2020, which accounted for 18.06% of Macs used by Steam gamers.
