Step by step guide for you to play Diablo 4 on Mac.
Diablo IV is an action role-playing game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment and is the fourth part of the Diablo series.
The game was announced in November 2019 and is finally scheduled for full release in June 2023 although it is already available for pre-order and open beta.
First we advise to try parallels desktop but in most cases Parallels seems unable to do good enough work to virtualize powerful graphics hardware on Macs that only have the CPU built-in graphics at their disposal. If Parallels don’t work, follow these steps.
As we’ll show you, you can also play Diablo 4 on a Mac using OneCast but this requires having an Xbox in which case, you might as well just play the Xbox version of Diablo.
How To Play Diablo 4 On A Mac
Here we will look at the only ways of playing Diablo 4 on a Mac in more detail.
1. Play Diablo 4 Using Boot Camp
Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on a separate partition of your Mac hard drive so that you boot your Mac in Windows or macOS.
Here’s how to install Diablo 4 on a Mac.
- First you need to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp. We strongly recommend installing Windows 11 instead of Windows 10 will be supported less and less going forward.
- Download Battle.net on your Mac.
You then need to purchase Diablo 4 via Battle.net. Note that at the moment, Diablo 4 only available as Open Beta from March 24th-26th 2023.
Once Diablo 4 is installed on your Mac, We recommend lowering the graphics settings to high to ensure that the game plays as intended.
2. Stream Diablo 4 Using OneCast
The other way of playing Diablo 4 on a Mac is the least recommended as it requires you to have an Xbox in which case you probably don’t need to play Diablo 4 on a Mac anyway.
However, if you have bought Diablo 4 on an Xbox and want to stream the game to your Mac, you can do so using OneCast.
OneCast also works with Apple Silicon Macs so it’s also the only way to play Diablo 4 on Apple Silicon too.
There are various ways of playing Xbox games on a Mac but using OneCast is the only method that will work for Diablo 4.
OneCast can stream any game from an Xbox Series X/S to a Mac as long as they are connected on the same WiFi network.
