Ask HN: State of gaming and it's developement on Apple Silicon
I don't think Apple really does much, at least nothing they've announced publicly.
However, Codeweavers (the company) makes Crossover, which can utilize GPT in its recent versions: https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover/
There is also Whisky, a FOSS app that uses Wine and GPT: https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/ (unlike Codeweavers, it doesn't have per-game profiles, so you just have to look at its wiki and issues and try to get games to run on your own)
In my experience, neither is very good, and both are way more difficult to use than a real PC.
Maybe things will get better if the Apple VR headset spurs a game rush, but I doubt it will. In the meantime, I do all my Mac gaming on Geforce Now and it's been truly wonderful: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/games/ You get a 4080 in the cloud for $20/mo, and no local heat or noise since the rendering happens remotely.

Diablo IV coming soon to GeForce Now
(Not affiliated with any of these companies, I just really like GeForce Now and use it every day, and have waited a loooooooong time for this to happen, hoping that Microsoft will do us a solid. They finally did!)
Thanks to Microsoft's acquisition of Activision (and them handing cloud streaming rights over to Ubisoft [1]), Diablo IV will soon be coming to Nvidia's cloud streaming service, GeForce Now [2].
GeForce Now offloads rendering to the cloud and makes your computer/tablet/phone act as a thin client that just receives the rendered frames and sends back control inputs. It's similar to how Google's failed Stadia program works, except Nvidia's offering uses your existing Steam/Epic/Xbox/etc. library, offers much more powerful hardware, and utilizes a lot of Nvidia-specific optimizations that Stadia never had.
Between DLSS, Reflex, and the upcoming cloud G-Sync, the game will likely run better on in the cloud than many desktop gaming PCs. The GeForce Now Ultimate tier comes with a RTX 4080 GPU, which is out of reach for many gamers due to its high price.
This will also finally allow Mac gamers to play Diablo IV without Crossover (which has poor performance) or Whisky and GPT (which often breaks and stays broken for weeks at a time [3]). GFN has much more powerful GPUs than even a M3 Max.
For Linux or Steam Deck gamers, D4 is already Proton Gold rated and Steam Deck verified [4], but GeForce Now should allow you to play it on much higher graphics, using less battery, and without using the fans.

Have you tried Apple Porting Toolkit? It’s able to get most of my Steam library working well (Cyberpunk and Halo for example). There is an app called Whisky that removes the hoops.

I just got a shiny new Macbook Pro with the M3 Pro chip. Can I play high-spec PC games?
Whisky is amazing. It uses an older — free — version of CrossOver (proprietary and commercial software built on Wine). I'm able to play GTA V on very high graphics settings with amazingly fluid fps on my M1 Pro, with DXVK enabled in Whisky!
