Steam

Steam, the computer gaming platform par excellence, not only offers Windows users a catalog of more than 1,800 video games, but it also offers Mac users a huge number of high-quality titles.

Developed by Valve (Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal), Steam has become practically synonymous with "PC gaming." This is not so much because of its catalog, which includes more than 1,800 titles, but because of the many additional features it offers when purchasing and downloading video games.

In its extensive catalog, you'll find all kinds of games, ranging from the latest big-budget releases to relatively unknown independent games.

Games aside, what makes Steam so special is its community of players. This platform not only offers a constant communication system through which you can chat with your friends and leave comments, but it also offers online leaderboards, achievement systems, and much more.

In addition, Steam has complementary platforms, such as Workshop and Greenlight, which allow players to add mods to their favorite games or vote on which indie games they want to see on the platform.

These days, Steam is a necessary platform for playing games on Mac. Many physical releases already offer Steam download codes and, thanks to the convenience of being able to download your games on any computer at any time, it has become the platform of choice for almost all gamers.
