Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered finally landed on PC on August 12, and it has been on everyone’s lips since then. It’s the latest Sony title to make its way to PC following the successful launches of God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Days Gone. The PC version of Spider-Man Remastered has many improvements compared to its console counterpart, pushing the frame rate and the visual fidelity while supporting an ultra-wide screen. The game can be played on Windows PC, but you may wonder if you can play the game on your Mac. You are in the right place; here are the steps to play Marvel Spider-Man Remastered on Mac.
Can I Play Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on Mac?
The answer is Yes. In fact, there is no Mac version of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, but you can play it through a Windows virtual machine or a cloud-gaming service. Here are the steps.
How to Play Marvel Spider-Man Remastered on Mac
Method 1: Virtualization
Boot Camp Assistant is one of the easiest ways to install Windows on a Mac system. However, Apple only supports Boot Camp on Macs powered by an Intel processor. If you now have a Mac with an Apple Silicon chip, there is another option: Virtualization. Parallels Desktop is among the best virtual machines for Mac. It’s been updated to run on M1 or M2-based Macs. We will show you how to create a virtual machine with Parallels Desktop on Mac.
- Go to Parallels.com and download the free trial of the software.
- Run the file you downloaded earlier and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Once you have installed Parallels Desktop on your Mac, open it and select Install Windows.
- You will be asked to create a Parallels profile. Now follow the instructions to finish the installation of Windows on your Mac.
- Now, install Steam and purchase the game.
- Install the game on your Mac, and you are good to go.
Note that you may not get the best performance running the game on a virtual machine.
Method 2: Cloud Gaming Service
Another method to play Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on Mac is using a cloud gaming service. Services like Boosteroid or GeForce Now make running Windows games on Mac possible without having to download them or running a virtual machine.
- Head to GeForce Now and sign up for an account
- Now link your GeForce Now account with your Steam library
- Play the game.
Note that you can upgrade to GeForce Now premium starting at $9.99 per month for extended gaming sessions and access to RTX features.
