macOS Compatibility
| Compatibility layer | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CrossOver | UI scaling for text is ugly, but the game fully playable OOTB, good framerates. Hit "No" for the D3D12 warning and it will go away; annoyingly, this prompt comes up every time the video call interface opens. Keep this game windowed: mouse cursor becomes invisible if video call screen put into fullscreen.[1] | |

| Virtualization | ||
| Parallels | Doesn't launch; no error, just immediately closes. This is a D3D12 game with DX12 only. Parallels 20 does not support DX12.[2] | |
