World of Warcraft initially launched for PC/Mac on November 23, 2004. Blizzard has a long history of releasing their games concurrently on both Windows and macOS. This tradition continues through World of Warcraft. Each subsequent expansion was released same day for macOS with both versions playing the same servers.
World of Warcraft was one of the first games to support native Apple Silicon. Support was added in patch 9.0.2[1], releasing on November 17, 2020, the same day as the release of the M1 MacBook Air. Blizzard continues to support the Intel and ARM macOS versions of World of Warcraft.
