How to play Fall Guys on a Mac

Fall Guys is a hugely popular, free-to-play multiplayer battle royale that’s had official releases on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC via the Epic Games and Steam (although it’s no longer available on Steam unless you previously owned it). But, if you’re a Mac user, you might find yourself left in the lurch. That said, there is still a way to play Fall Guys on Mac.

Playing Fall Guys through emulator on Mac

The best way to play Fall Guys on Mac (and many other PC games) is to use a virtual machine or PC emulator on Mac. In the past, getting Windows running on a Mac was a long and arduous process, filled with scary terms such as “dual booting.” But thanks to emulation software like Parallels, you can easily run a Windows 10 or 11 OS on your Mac.
