Play your Windows Steam Library on your Apple Silicon Mac (for free)

Unlock the world of Windows gaming on your Apple Silicon Mac with the help of Whisky! In this quick start guide, I'll show you how to get up and running with Windows games as quickly as possible. Forget the cumbersome command-line installations of the past-Whisky makes it a breeze. This free app is your ticket to playing DirectX 11 and 12 games on your Apple Silicon Mac.
Written version:
blog.greggant.com/posts/2024/...
Before you dive in, make sure you have an Apple Silicon Mac, preferably running macOS 14 Sonoma for the best experience. A higher-spec Mac, with 16 GB of RAM, will perform even better. Also, keep in mind that games can take up a significant amount of space, so ensure you have enough free storage. The first step is to download Whisky, a tiny app that will prompt you to install Rosetta 2, a translation technology by Apple, essential for running Windows software. This download totals over 400 MBs.
Now, head to the Steam website and download the Windows version of Steam. Whisky uses WINE, and WINE bottles are self-contained environments that allow Windows applications to run on non-Windows operating systems. Create a new bottle, open the C drive, and drag the SteamSetup.exe into the drive_c folder. Return to Whisky, click Run, and select SteamSetup to complete the setup process. Sign in to your Steam account. Install games as usual,. While some older titles may not work, you'll find that many DirectX 11 and 12 games run seamlessly, offering you an impressive gaming experience on your Apple Silicon Mac. Be sure to check game compatibility resources mentioned below to stay updated on supported titles as Whisky continues to evolve.

A few things not covered at length in the video: - “Can I run game x?” How do I run game x”? Check the Mac Gaming Wiki or r/MacGaming on Reddit. I have only tried several games. I cover the Mac Gaming Wiki in the video but it is an incredibly useful resource, and contains information from many people’s experiences. - crossover video coming soon - Intel Mac users have the ability to native boot Windows negating the necessity of GPTK as you’ll get native performance - I didn't try Epic game store, there is a reddit thread recommending use of Heroic Game Launcher. If someone is willing to try, Heroic or just using the steam method please reply in the comments and I'll credit you. www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/14g3qeq/how_do_i_use_the_epic_games_launcher_with_gptk/ - Crossover is a superior solution as it works with older Direct X thus has much more compatibility and also uses GPTK for DX12 (in a recent update) and has per title configurations available. Codeweavers (makers of Crossover) were involved in creating GTPK. - You can use external storage with whisky. Just google for “Mac whisky external storage” or such. There’s Reddit threads on it. It’s pretty easy. - A few commenters are pointing out you could buy a gaming PC which while true is also silly. People have different priorities be it wanting a native *nix OS with wide commercial software solutions or for certain software suites that are Mac only (Logic, Final Cut Pro, Xcode, Sketch, etc) or have it for primarily work. Not everyone has the budget for multiple computers or desire or space or whatever. Inversely: If you can buy a gaming PC, maybe you should buy a Mac for media / development capabilities? It cuts both ways.

I did tinker with crossover on my Mac back in 2021/22. But found it to much hassle and slow at The time

[@dmug]

@@ladeluff_ Yeah, I tried it and didn't end up purchasing it, largely because I have a Mac Pro 2019 and my KZbin vids do not make enough money to really justify purchases as I'm very unlikely to make it back off a single video. I've heard it's gotten better especially with GPTK

Huge thanks to Linux and open source community for all the work done for wine proton and all translation layers

Would be very nice if Apple supported the open source community by making a Vulkan driver or just releasing the documentation so people could make custom drivers

[@indee7142]

@@kittenzrulz2314 Apple doesn't need it, they only care about their own revenue and that's all. That's why they can't even make their own toolkit, they just rebuild other people's open source code. Even brew for macOS has nothing to do with macOS itself, it's not macOS development. At the same time windows, no matter how bad it is, goes towards developers and users, allowing them to run native Linux applications, including windowed ones, in the operating system itself. That's the difference...

[@akurasubject9617]

Linux on Apple Silicon already beats macOS in terms of OpenGL support and it won't be long before it brings native Vulkan to the table. With that, gaming on a Mac will mean dual-booting Linux

Yeah Parallels never really has been viable for much in the way of games. I’ll be sad when it’s time to give up my Mac Pro 2019.

Don't be fooled. It only emulates windows games and doesn't run them natively. I Cann't even run Palworld on my M2 MacBook Air because of the double layer of translations going on.

Thanks for the tutorial. Very easy to set up. Sadly, doesn't work with the older games I want to run (as you explained). The state of Mac gaming on Apple Silicon is depressing, tbh. Anything non-native has so many stipulations, and I don't blame Apple directly for this because these games weren't made for ARM, but I do think seeing as how the M1 chip came out over three years ago, it's annoying that Apple hasn't come up with a streamlined solution (because that's usually what Apple is good at). Linux in 2015 was legitimately in a better place for gaming than Mac is now in 2024.
