Fallout 4 (Windows – Steam) runs well via CrossOver and I would definitely say completable on this computer and runs at decent framerates at 1920×1080 on the MacBook Air 2020 512GB with 8GB RAM and 8 GPU cores. The open world feels like around 30-40 FPS and in-combat it drags down to around 20-30 FPS. There are minor graphical issues but none that seem to be game-breaking or immersion-breaking.

Fallout: New Vegas ran much worse despite it being a much older game – see my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gESGHdAFyQ
