Virtualization means it's not running on MacOS...
And, I don't have a Mac so definitely not something I pay any attention to, but it's pretty easy to see if a game on steam supports MacOS.
Far Cry 6 doesn't run on MacOS. I'd imagine most Ubisoft games don't.
Edit: oh, and Counter-Strike 2... Doesn't play on MacOS. Apparently I had to be specific about the "2" version.
Looks like CS-2 runs on a Mac fairly well with no extra hardware or virtualized OS installed. https://youtu.be/7g41rsoTlVg
Far cry 6 as well! https://youtu.be/UybZXgs-5a0
Apple’s game porting toolkit and their M-series hardware is pretty spectacular stuff. Honestly, it doesn’t matter at all that these games are not native as long as they run. And they run seemingly well even on first gen M-series hardware.
I think the point above about being able to run just about anything still stands.
