We are excited to announce that starting today we are releasing new versions of many of our Microsoft 365 for Mac apps that run natively on Macs with M1. This means that now our core flagship Office apps—Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote—will run faster and take full advantage of the performance improvements on new Macs, making you even more productive on the latest MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini.
When Apple started the transition from PowerPC to x86 with the Intel iMac, it took Microsoft a year to release a version of Office that didn’t require Rosetta. It’s been less than a month since the first M1 Macs were announced.
