Valve Software today officially announced that it is bringing its Steam game distribution platform, as well as its own library of games, to Mac OS X next month.

Steam and Valve's library of games including Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Portal, and the Half-Life series will be available in April.

"As we transition from entertainment as a product to entertainment as a service, customers and developers need open, high-quality Internet clients," said Gabe Newell, President of Valve. "The Mac is a great platform for entertainment services."


woohoo! No more buggy emulation software for me next month. Should be getting a decent FPS finally.

Well, it's not like it's bringing every single Steam game available to the Mac! It's only certain ones coded for the Mac but it has been confirmed TF:2, L4D2, etc. by Valve all support the Mac.

And if you have a Mac, go get bootcamp and run Windows for gaming...
