Feral today announced that the Company of Heroes 2: Master Collection is now available on the Mac App Store.
Originally developed by Relic Entertainment and generally regarded as the definitive version of the critically acclaimed real-time strategy game, the Master Collection on Mac utilizes an implementation of Apple's Metal that brings a leap forward in performance and graphics, according to Feral.
Company of Heroes 2: Master Collection challenges players to direct their troops through fast-paced real-time battles in the brutal fight to turn the tide of World War II. From the desperate defense of Stalingrad to victory in Berlin, they must defeat a tenacious enemy through the deadly cold of the Russian winter and the fast-moving battlegrounds of the western front.
The Company of Heroes 2: Master Collection comes with the base game, its entire catalogue of DLC, and all three expansions, including The Western Front Armies, Ardennes Assault, and The British Forces.
The Western Front Armies changes the course of multiplayer warfare by bringing U.S. Forces and the German Oberkommando West to Online and Skirmish mode. Meanwhile Ardennes Assault puts players in command of U.S. Forces in a single-player campaign against the Germany army. The British Forces challenges players adds a new multiplayer army and a new set of maps ranging from northwest Europe to Nazi Germany.
The game officially supports the following Macs:
- All 13-inch Retina MacBook Pros released since 2016
- All 15-inch Retina MacBook Pros released since Mid 2012
- All 15-inch MacBook Pros released since Mid 2012 with a 1GB graphics card or better

Company of Heroes 2: Master Collection is now available from the Mac App Store for $39.99/£38.99. Customers who already own the Mac App Store version of Company of Heroes 2 will receive all the DLC and expansion packs in a free update.

Great to see more games using Metal come out. I bet the game will still run better in Windows on the same hardware, but we should be able to get a lot closer to the Windows version at least.
Will it sync with Steam so all my bootcamp PC achievements and unlocks are automatically in this version?
Actually - do I have to buy this again on Steam for the Mac version?
Edit - I just opened Steam on the Mac and there is CoH2 ready to install so at least I don't need to buy it again. Now just a big download to go and I will see how the Mac version compares. It will be interesting as it is the exact same machine I will be playing on.
