So, I’d thought I’d start a thread for gaming on M1.
here’s a link to a google spreadsheet that the r/Macgaming community put together.

I just got my M1 mini 16/512 I’m impressed to say the least.
I’m a tinker and like to screw around with different things.
(that’s actually the reason I bought an M1 Mac.)

Games I got to work
GTA IV (Windows on ARM) Parallels
(runs well 45-60+ FPS mix of medium and high settings) 1920x1080
GTA V (Windows on ARM) Parallels framerate isn't great but for a proof of concept it runs ! (see here)
With the amount of emulation going on i'm surprised it even launches !
Spintires Original (Windows on ARM) Parallels (Smooth)
Assetto Corsa (Crossover Steam) 1920x1080 (Smooth Gameplay)
street legal racing redline (Crossover steam)
** Considering how buggy this game is, even on windows.. I'm surprised it even runs..**
Farming Simulator 2019 (Crossover Steam 1920x1080) (Medium)
** You must go into documents and open "game.xml".
Change <fullscreen>true</fullscreen
to <fullscreen>false</fullscreen>
save
launch game **Slight graphical issues but overall works well.**
Farming Simulator 2017 Crossover Steam 1920x1080) (Medium)

launch game (UI is offset and stutters) quite a bit.
Project Cars (Crossover Steam)
Mafia III DE (Crossover Steam) \*\* You need to rename “launcher.exe” to something like “me.exe”.
Then scroll down rename MafiaIIDE.exe to “launcher.exe” and launch from the root folder.
It will launch to a blackscreen
Exit out and go to /Users/"account name"/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles/"bottle name"/drive_c/users/crossover/Local Settings/Application Data/2K Games/Mafia III/Saves/videoconfig.cfg
Open Videoconfig.cfg
and change the included line to "-6 31 1920 1080 0 0 0 0 0" (without the quotes)
Severe graphical issues, but it launches and runs...

Side loaded
I have no way of tracking FPS as of yet, (maybe someone knows how?) all games that have worked so far resulted in smooth gameplay.
