Game Pass and Apple Silicon

[MacLawyer]

Has anyone tried some games like Halo Infinite on Apple silicon hardware? Do the games even work? I used to build my own gaming PCs back in the day. Now I'm old and lazy.

As far as I can find Halo Infinite doesn't work via GPKT. GamePass itself requires the XBox app (and the Windows Store) to run so I don't think that works either.

Should of mentioned I have the latest copy of Parallels running.

Like, natively or through cloud? Because your thread title says Game Pass which of course every Game Pass game is playable via cloud streaming in a web browser.

Via Parallels, not cloud. I didn't clarify my post until later. Sorry.

Halo Infinite is free (well the online mode is) so you can give it a try.

I checked AppleGamingWiki and a lot of titles are playable through Parallels. What titles in particular were you wanting to play?

I've got parallels 19 business, and downloaded halo infinite 50 gb from steam on my m2 max, game doesn't launch, what a waste of time, oh well for science.

It doesn't run because it requires DirectX12 and Parallels can't support that yet. Until Game Porting Toolkit no DX12 games worked on M1/2/3 Macs. Your only hope for getting it run is a patched version of Crossover that uses Game Porting Toolkit for DX12 support.
