Will Diablo 4 work on Apple Silicon Macs?

[Yamcha]

Does anyone know if Diablo 4 will run on M1/M2 Macs? I've been wanting an M2 MacBook Air for a while, but I'm a bit concerned about gaming. Does anyone know if gaming using Parallels or other means is an option?

Unfortunately not, it requires DirectX12 and Parallels/Windows on Arm doesn't support that. You may be able to stream it if you have an XBox and Onecast I think, but then you could play it on the XBox.

You could keep around a Windows box too to play games...

Could you run it via Parallels? Possibly, but I think performance would be stunted based on what I saw during the open beta weekend. Blizzard is not planning to make a Mac version of the game, and most likely never will, given Activision's mentality and the Microsoft acquisition of ABK still in the works.

No.

The best bet forward is going to be the Asahi Linux project and Proton (Valve).

If Microsoft is allowed to buy Blizzard, then Microsoft can add games like Diablo 4 on xCloud and then you can play it on your M2 MacBook Air.

Nvidia GeForce NOW and Game Pass will be your best options to play it on your Mac.

Locally I doubt it, unless the Proton project moves forward with macOS / Apple Silicon

Sadly no. I will be playing it on my PS5.

"or other means is an option" of course, but not native...cloud is your way, i think someone here used this for beta https://shadow.tech/en-gb/

Is now possible ?

Yes, it's possible. Will it happen? Probably not.

From what I understand, Blizzard no longer has a dedicated MacOS team. All development is divided among all the developers on a priority basis. Unfortunately, Mac development is low on the priority list.
