A pptx file is a microsoft powerpoint file. So you must install microsoft powerpoint. So go to the App Store and install powerpoint. If you got a message "you'll. need macOS 13 or higher to run powerpoint". have you downloaded powerpoint before? Then you can download the latest version that will run from your Mac from your purchase history

You can also try and download the app keynote to open this kind of files
