Which MacBook Air is better for gaming, the 13-inch M1 or 15-inch M2?

MacBook Air M1 and M2 on a cream background

For Mac users, gaming natively can be arduous thanks to the limited library available on online storefronts. And while Apple has been making slow but steady improvements on that front, Nvidia’s GeForce Now streaming service is the best choice for those needing access to solid gaming options. Even those using older Mac devices, like the M1 MacBook Air, can easily stream AAA titles.

However, even with access to a superior game library, how does performance fair? For the best PC games that you can download and run locally, is it worth the extra steps? Can you get a better experience through that rather than paying for the GeForce Now subscriptions? And if you’re committed to gaming directly on either the M1 MacBook Air or M2 MacBook Air, is it still viable to use these older models or should you invest in the most recent models with the most powerful chips?
