Games not working on MacOs 26

Hi, since I updated to MacOs 26, all the games I used to play are not working anymore. None from Apple Store and none from Steam. (Actually just a couple of games are working fine). Anyone else got the same issue? Any solution? I tried to uninstall and reinstall the games, restart the Mac, update the SO at the last version (26.0.1), start the games from the new Games app. Nothing is happening. The game start, the icon is bouncing on the dock, and that's it.

Mac mini, macOS 26.0

Have you checked the developers' websites and/or the Mac App Store to ensure the games that aren't working are compatible with macOS Tahoe?

I had updated to MacOS 26 on my M4 MacBook Air without any issues so went ahead and updated my M4 Pro Mac Mini and nothing runs. Have logged out of App Store, uninstalled/reinstalled, updated and restarted. Nothing seems to help.
