Can You Play Marvel Rivals On Mac

Here is everything you need to know about how you can play Marvel Rivals on Mac and hop into NetEase’s latest hero shooter title.

Marvel Rivals has reignited the hero shooter genre and attracted a lot of attention from a lot of curious gamers. Its combination of fast-paced action, team-based strategy, and iconic characters from other forms of Marvel media made it a standout title.

Due to this, the game quickly amassed a large following from different platforms like PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Adding to its convenience, the game is also cross-play, allowing you to queue up with your friends on different platforms. This feature is available for all game modes except competitive play. 

However, some players wonder if the game is available for Mac users. In this article, let’s take a look at how you can play Marvel Rivals on Mac. 

Is Marvel Rivals Available on Mac?

Currently, you cannot play Marvel Rivals on Mac platforms. NetEase has yet to officially announce if their hit video game title will be arriving on Apple’s ecosystem. Players who prefer gaming on macOS are left wondering if future updates or a dedicated version will be developed to support their systems. 

However, you can use applications like CrossOver to run Windows-based programs on other operating systems, including macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. This method allows you to play the game, but it comes with the risk of encountering performance issues or compatibility problems. There are also reports that they were banned from the game. However, this was resolved, and the ban was lifted. The issue arose because the game’s anti-cheat system mistakenly flagged their account, detecting what it assumed were unauthorized modifications or hacks.

Despite these potential challenges, CrossOver remains the best available option for macOS users until NetEase officially releases a native version of the game for the platform.
