If you own a Mac and would like to play Diablo 4, here are some methods that will help you play the game on your Mac device!
Blizzard does not officially support Diablo 4 on Mac because there is no Mac client available for the game. As a result, players need to resort to alternative solutions.
For someone stuck with a Mac for work who doesn’t want to buy a Windows PC just to play Diablo 4, we’re looking into a few solutions in this post.
How to Play Diablo 4 on Intel Macs Using Boot Camp
The only permanent solution to play Diablo 4 on Intel Macs right now is to use Boot Camp and install Windows on your machine. Diablo 4 requires DirectX 12 to run and you won’t get it without a Windows installation. Other methods will only give you DirectX 11 which isn’t enough to run the game.
It’s important to point out this method will only work with Intel Macs. If you have an Apple Silicon M1 or M2 Mac with Boot Camp, this METHOD WILL NOT WORK.
Head over to the following Apple Support page to learn more about how to install Windows on your Intel Mac with Boot Camp Assistant.
