Can you play Marvel Rivals on Mac?

Marvel Rivals is one of the most popular games this decade, and that's an objective fact. So many streamers and pro players have been playing nothing but it. With a release on PC and current-generation consoles, it has some potential fans wondering. Can you play Marvel Rivals on Mac?

We've got the answer for you ahead.

The short answer is no, but the longer answer is kind of. Steam and the Epic Games Store do work on Mac systems, but only with games optimized for it. Therefore Marvel Rivals is not officially available. There is no release for it on macOS, just for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

There are ways that are out of our wheelhouse to make the game work on Mac devices, however. Players have used a variety of software, including Windows PC emulators that have Steam loaded onto them. A quick Google search can teach you everything you need to know.

Of course, emulating isn't always allowed and oftentimes comes with performance issues. This is because you're emulating a device that is not the actual device you're using, so the functionality isn't always compatible and can be a bit wonky.

As well, there is conflicting information from players who have tried these methods to play Marvel Rivals on Mac. Head over to Reddit and you can find a bunch of threads discussing how to make it work and any potential consequences.

One user says the Marvel Rivals team is banning anyone who emulates a Windows PC onto a Mac computer, as it is considered spoofing. There have been 100 year bans because of it. Others say they've actually reached out to the developers.

And they've heard back good news that Mac bans have been overturned or will be if someone just reaches out and says that's why they were banned. So, take all of that information how you will and good luck with whatever path you take!
