To make an Xbox game, you would typically use development tools and platforms specific to Xbox, such as Microsoft's Xbox Development Kit (XDK) or the newer Game Development Kit (GDK). However, if you're interested in porting an existing game to Apple platforms, Apple provides a comprehensive set of tools and resources to help with this process.
At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced the "Port advanced games to Apple platforms" session, which provides a detailed guide on how to port games to macOS, iPad, and iPhone. This session covers the use of the Game Porting Toolkit, which includes sample code and tutorials to help developers bring their games to Apple devices. The toolkit supports the evaluation of Windows games on Apple Silicon, conversion of shaders to Metal, and debugging and profiling with Metal tools.
For more information on porting games to Apple platforms, you can refer to the session Port advanced games to Apple platforms (02:06) which starts with evaluating your game and guides you through the entire porting process.
