Today marks the start of the beta for the GameMaker Studio 2 macOS IDE!

Usage of the trial version of Studio 2 on macOS is now available worldwide for all and those who have purchased any GameMaker Studio 2 products can use those too. Simply log in to your YoYo Account on your Mac and download/install the GameMaker Studio 2 pkg file to get started.

We aim to match all features and functionality of Studio 2 between Windows and macOS. This marks the first time that GameMaker Studio is available on macOS and is a massive improvement on the previous version available, GameMaker 7.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who took part in the closed beta for their feedback during this time. Please note that any non-paid licences generated during closed beta will return to a trial licence on July 7th.

If you would like to find out some more about GameMaker Studio 2 and the macOS IDE please have a look at our Knowledge Base and our Known Issues.

We hope that all of our macOS users find the Studio 2 experience as rewarding as it is on Windows PCs and as always, we welcome any feedback that you may have.

Thanks
