Playing games on your MacBook Air M1 should not harm the device in the long run. The M1 chip is designed to handle various tasks efficiently, including gaming. However, it's always good practice to ensure proper ventilation during extended gaming sessions to prevent overheating. Regularly updating your macOS and managing your storage effectively will also help maintain your MacBook's performance. Remember, the M1 MacBook Air is not primarily a gaming laptop, so while it can run games, its capabilities and cooling system are not the same as those of a dedicated gaming laptop.
