@OfficialThunderbolt @Fubarberry wait, does this work on M2 airs? How can one play windows games on the MacBook Air?
With Whisky. It requires macOS Sonoma, which launches next week.
@OfficialThunderbolt what’s this for?
Whisky will allow you to run Windows apps, including most games, on a Mac without needing a VM or Boot Camp. It's basically a front end to Apple's Game Porting Toolkit, which requires Sonoma, so Whisky also requires Sonoma.
And while most games work well, games with a launcher will most likely fail, as will games that use kernel-level anti-cheat or some other DRM on top of Steam's. Steam works well with Whisky, but Epic's store doesn't work for some reason.
@OfficialThunderbolt have you tried running windows games on Mac? Like a typical windows game on steam or something?
Yes.
