How can you play Overwatch 2 on Mac devices in 2024?

Overwatch 2 is not supported on devices by Apple, so you need to download and install additional files to play the game. Although launching and running the title on Windows devices is far easier, the section below details the steps to run Overwatch 2 on Mac:

  • To start the process, download Crossover on your Mac device.
  • When you are done, install Battle.net and Overwatch 2 through the app.
  • Update your MoltenVK from Crossover to boost the performance. The default versions of MoltenVK will be installed along with the Crossover app.
  • Download the DKVK cache and paste it where the game is installed.
  • After installing all these items, you can start playing Overwatch 2 on Mac.

While completing all of the abovementioned steps will allow you to play Overwatch 2, if your device is running on M1 chips, it is recommended that you lower the video settings for better performance. Since the M2 and M3 chips can offer more performance, you don’t need to change the settings on the devices that feature them.

Keep in mind that if you're trying to run Crossover on older Mac devices, run the latest version of MacOS or the game may not launch, which can be frustrating.

Apart from Crossover, you can use various cloud gaming applications such as GeForce NOW, Shadow PC, Boosteroid, and Xbox Cloud Gaming to play Overwatch on Mac devices.
