macOS Compatibility
| Method | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rosetta 2 | Steam version is no longer available to purchase, it functions but cannot connect to online multiplayer. | |
| Compatibility layer | ||
| CrossOver | Stable 90 FPS, fluctuates between 90-120 if set to 120 FPS. Game plays perfectly on M1 Pro, performance same on battery or plugged in and SOC never overheats.[4][5][6] Works with BakkesMod, but settings configuration must be done in DXVK as its GUI does not display in D3DMetal. |
|
| Wine | 90 FPS via Steam on Apple Game porting toolkit initial beta[7] | |
| Virtualization | ||
| Parallels | Playable[8] |
