I have heard it runs on steam deck, but nothing about Mac yet.

    I wouldn’t count on it, tbh. MacOS is such a miniscule percentage of the gaming community (though I’m sure that part of it is a self-perpetuating cycle of there not being much Mac gamers because Studios don’t develop for MacOS because there aren’t enough Mac gamers, etc.)

    The studio’s previous game Craftopia, which has been out since 2020, still doesn’t have any Mac support, and doesn’t look like it ever will, so I doubt Palworld will get a MacOS release, either. Honestly, between developing for the PC, Linux/SteamOS, and XBox platforms, and with the game being in early-access, I doubt that they could justify spending the time, let alone the money.

    That being said, there are some sites detailing ways to play on MacOS using virtualization tools like Crossover and there are also some people saying that they’re trying to access XBox games via gamepass - apparently Palworld is on there as a “game preview”?

    Also, here’s a YouTube video with some positive feedback in the comments titled How to install Palworld on Mac Good luck, and I hope it works out for you! :)
