Fall Guys was one of the biggest phenomena of last year, and there’s a way that players can download the game on Mac. Fall Guys is now a free multiplayer battle royale obstacle course beloved for its high-stakes competitive gameplay yet cute and refreshing style and tone. Unfortunately, the game isn’t available on Mac; however, there are still ways Mac players can get around this and join in on the fun.
While Fall Guys isn’t available to download and play directly on Mac devices, there’s still a way that players can enjoy the game on their Macbook. It just requires a few extra steps. To play Fall Guys on Mac (and any other PC-only games players may want to try), they will need a PC virtual machine.
PC virtual machines serve as a PC emulator, allowing players to run a PC (and thus, run PC games) on their Mac device. Emulators are a great way to run games on consoles that are not usually accessible, such as playing Last-Gen games on PS4. There are dozens of PC virtual machines out there, so it can be tricky to decide which to use. The two easiest and most popular include Parallels and Boot Camp. Here’s how to download a PC emulator and use it to run Fall Guys on Mac.
How to Download a PC Emulator to Play Fall Guys on Mac
One of the most popular Windows 10/11 virtual machines in Parallels. Parallels has optimizations specific for gaming that make it a favorite amongst Mac gamers. New updates for Parallels are also released frequently, making it the best choice for a job like this. First, players will need to go to the official Parallels website and install the application. Players with an Intel Mac will want to download the Windows 10 ISO version. It is worth pointing out that players using a Mac with the M1/M2 chip cannot use this method as the game does not support those chipsets at the time of writing.
Once players download the app, they should run it and follow the instructions given on the website to set it up with a Windows virtual machine (VM). Unfortunately, many computers lack the requirements to run Windows 11, so players should make sure they’re running a version of Windows their computer can handle. Once Parallels is up and running, players simply need to install any missing updates, then download Steam and download Fall Guys as they normally would.
The alternative to Parallels is Boot Camp, which many Mac gamers may already have installed. If not, players simply need to download a Windows 10 installation (ISO) file from Microsoft’s website and then download Boot Camp. Once Boot Camp Assistant is running, players should select the Windows 10 installation ISO file and click install. Once Windows 10 is installed, players should select to install Apple updates for Windows, then download Steam and install Fall Guys. Fall Guys is introducing fan-made levels soon, and Mac players can ensure they’re not missing out by using this method.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
