Enlarge / The Amazon Prime Video app for macOS. The best part? It's free, open-source, and available across multiple platforms, including iOS. Until now, downloading Prime Video shows and films was only possible on mobile. It's one of the best media players on the market because it supports so many different types of multimedia, including DVDs, audio/video CDs, and file formats like Xvid, DivX, Real Video, and more - including Ogg Vorbis, a personal favorite. The bug in question involves playing a specific YouTube video, after which the Pixel device automatically crashes and soft-reboots, sometimes resulting in users losing cellular connectivity for a few minutes. From there you can select your Video Library or purchase or rent any video in the Prime Video store. You can stream any video you have rented or that you own by going to, and then going to the Prime Video store in Amazon. When you absolutely, positively must play a video file and you're not sure Apple's QuickTime player will support it, VLC is the first media player you should download. We recently reported about a bug that causes the Pixel 6 and 7 series to crash and reboot. None of the Prime Videos are downloadable - they are streaming only. Plus, you can connect a compatible Bluetooth controller for some old-fashioned gamepad gaming on your new Mac.

There are lots of amazing options too, including everything from Sid Meier's Civilization VI and Stardew Valley to Cuphead, Hades, Disco Elysium and more. Not every game on Steam is compatible with macOS, but Steam makes it easy to filter through its 50,000+ games to see which ones run on Macs. Launched by Valve nearly two decades ago, Steam has grown to become one of the biggest PC game platforms in the world. If you want to play games on your Mac, it's a good idea to download Steam.
