How to Play PC Steam Games on a Mac

Best Answer

First off, you can use the Steam Play feature. It lets you play compatible Windows games on your Mac without any extra software. Just look for games that support Steam Play and you're golden! If the game you wanna play isn't supported, no worries - grab Boot Camp Assistant. It comes with macOS, letting you install Windows on a partition of your hard drive. Then, just boot into Windows, launch Steam, and play any game you want. Pro tip: make sure you've got enough space for Windows and your games!

Another quick way is to use a program like Parallels Desktop for Mac. It lets you run Windows virtually on your Mac, so you can play those Steam games without rebooting into Windows like Boot Camp makes you do. It's pretty handy for those not-so-graphic-intensive games but might not handle the super demanding ones well.

Boot Camp is overkill. Just get yourself a nice gaming PC and save yourself the headache.

I've been using Boot Camp for years to play Steam games on my Mac. Sure, it takes some setting up, but once it's done, it runs smoothly. Best part? I don't need to buy a separate PC just for gaming. 10/10 would recommend.
