Pixel Port 0.4.0 — The Redesign

Pixel Port has a new face. The whole product experience has been rebuilt:

  • Home, Library, Discover — a clean three-part structure. Library unifies your installed games and Steam purchases in one place with tabs; Discover replaces Browse with playable-first filtering.
  • Redesigned game pages — every game leads with its readiness for your Mac, a clear confidence rating, and one obvious next action. Technical details tuck into an accordion.
  • Compatibility reports, per Mac — a new report matrix shows how each game runs across Apple Silicon generations and macOS versions, highlighting your machine.
  • Refreshed visual style — the Deep Amethyst design language across every surface, including a faster command palette (⌘K).

Under the hood, 0.4.0 carries everything the 0.3 series built: reliable Steam launching (client-update resilience, teardown-race fixes), per-game graphics backends, honest DX9 routing, texture-flicker controls, and cleaner shutdowns.

New in the catalogue this week: Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, Red Alert 2 + Yuri's Revenge, and the Guns 'n Goblins demo.
